will small breast affect breastfeeding?

Answer 1

absolutley not
breast size does not effect the amount of milk that you are going to have
and good for you for thinking of breast feeding is the best choice for your baby

Answer 2

Hi there!

The size of your breasts doesn't affect the success you'll have with breastfeeding. The milk ducts inside your breasts and nipples are what will determine how well you can feed. Some women have flat nipples however that could possibly prevent a baby from latching on and that might cause a slight inconvenience, but pumping is still an option. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 3

I am five months pregnant and still only wear a 32 A. I have quite a few friends that have recently had children who are very large breasted and they are having a lot of trouble because their babies' can't latch on very well. I've been told that because I have small breasts, the baby will be able to latch on more easily and that the baby will be able to feel more comfortable because we will be belly to belly and have a higher possibility of success at breast feeding. Your breasts will produce milk as needed. No worries there. The baby latching on is one of the biggest reasons why people fail at breastfeeding.

Answer 4

What's all this about then - nobody answering seems to have any sense here.

Of course if your breasts are small then you may not have enough to feed your baby satisfactorily. It stands to reason that small breasts produce less milk - it's obvious to me but not the other dozen or so people writing.

Just don't expect baby to be full with just breast milk if your breasts are very small - have some formula on hand to supplement otherwise you'll be spending every waking(and sleeping) moment trying to satisfy the baby.

Answer 5

No, it won't. I had relatively small breasts(small B cup) before my first child, but they did seem to grow a bit during pregnancy to prepare for the massive increase in size that occurred when my milk came in. My nipples never got sore from nursing, but when your milk first comes in your breasts become very engorged and tender, and it can be quite painful. I felt like I literally had udders and went up to a large C cup.

Answer 6

No. All that's necessary is a little practice. Your nursing staff at the hospital where you deliver, or your midwife, can assist you. It really takes but a few minutes to figure out this little but important detail. As for whether or not your smaller breasts will provide adequate amounts of nutrition for baby - do not worry, they will.

Answer 7

under no circumstances. i'm breastfeeding my 10 month old son nonetheless (purely approximately solely) and that i frequently have very small (slightly B) breasts. Your breasts will produce as plenty milk as your toddler desires. proper desires and congratulations. i think of it particularly is super that once a Mommy chooses to grant her toddler the proper present of breast milk.

Answer 8

Absolutely not. Your boobs will get bigger and bigger about 3 days after giving birth, which is when your milk comes in. But size has nothing to do with it in the beginning.

Just a word of warning, VERY sore nipples, and expect to be very emotional for a few days when your milk first comes in. I cried hysterically over the most stupid things.

Answer 9

Well I can tell you that I probably have the smallest breasts of any adult woman on the planet and after I gave birth, I had enough milk to feed an army of soldiers !!!!!! (yuck)

Answer 10

No. Breast size doesn't affect your ability to breastfeed. Now if you have inverted nipples it would be difficult.
