I just wanted to know because i know someone who wheres a size B cup and is 26 and she is breastfeeding and i am just a little confused i have way bigger breast then she does so could that possibly mean i can produce more milk our would it be the same amount as a smaller chested woman?

Breast size has nothing to do with supply. The more you nurse, the more milk you will have. It's all about supply and demand.
A mother with larger breasts may have a larger "storage capacity" and may be able to go longer between feedings than a mother with small breasts. The number of milk ducts inside matters more than the size of the breasts themselves.
I am about a 34B and I've exclusively nursed three children who have never tasted a drop of formula. They have all nursed well beyond the first year. I even tandem nursed #1 and #2 for 16 months.

I think not, there are bigger breast who has less milk than those with small ones. I believe your breast is genuinely big, more soups on your meals and choose food that can help produce more mother's milk.

No, breast size doesn't matter. The breast will make enough milk for the baby to drink and more as the baby takes more.

I'm a F cup...at one point I felt like Bessy the cow. I cuoldn't tell you about mall breasted women. Bigger breasts usually only means more fatty tissue as opposed to milk glands.

breasts are made up of mostly fatty tissue
so, really it does not atter matter the size of your breasts, there are the same amount of milk ducts inside ones breast, whether you are an an A or a C cup.

I had small boobs when i had my son but i only fed him for a couple of months but i wanted to go longer,they dried up becuase i stressed too much and the baby can sense that through your milk, SO DONT STRESS! And with my next one i am breastfeeding her and she is 9 months old, but not as much now but still producing a lot too and i love it, emotionaly im not ready to give up, but she has 2 teeth now and she bites, but not all the time. So the more you feed the more you will produce. Your baby needs to stimulate your nipples. (thats what the midwives said to me, and it works) GOOD LUCK!!

nope- breast size does not determine how much breast milk you will produce.

No. Also, hormones play a big part on milk production.

Every woman is able to produce the right amount of milk for their child, no matter their size.
