NO...it is an urban legend that large breasted women produce more milk...there is NO relationship medically speaking. Milk is produced in your milk ducts, NOT in your breast tissue. The size of your breast is related to the amount of breast tissue you have, not the size of your milk ducts. There is no correlation between breastmilk production and breast size. Sorry.

No, breast size has nothing to do with a mother's milk supply. It's about the amount of plumbing INSIDE the breast, not the fatty tissue that makes up the breast.
A mom with larger storage capacity may be able to go longer between feedings than a mom with a smaller storage capacity. Both can produce plenty of milk though. (Think of storage capacity as a cup - you can easily drink a large amount of water throughout the day using any size of cup - small, medium or large - but if you use a smaller cup it will be refilled more often.)

No. Sadly, we're most attracted to large hips and a bigger bust anyway, at least amongst our own race (some races seem naturally smaller than others, with a few exceptions). I'm very small, but it hasn't kept me from birthing a rather... robust baby for my size. Most of the time the body will adapt. I had very little bust in the beginning and practically no hips, but gained them quickly in pregnancy and was quite capable of birthing my son naturally and feeding him, though he was 8lbs10oz and had a very healthy appetite.
Evolution is a curious thing, don't you think?

Not at all. A woman with smaller breasts is just as capable of breast feeding and produce sufficient milk as a larger breasted woman.

"Can I breastfeed if I'm not large breasted?
Yes! Size has nothing to do with milk production. Changes in the breast during early pregnancy make it possible for the breasts to make milk. "

Absolutely not. Nature has ways to adjust. And even AA cuppers suddenly become B/C with plenty of milk.

No, breast size does not matter for milk production.
