Size has nothing to do with the amount of milk you produce. How often you nurse will determine how much milk you produce for your baby. If you are concerned, contact the lactation consultant at the hospital you plan on giving birth at. They can help you.

The size of your breasts has no impact on thir ability to produce milk. I have small breasts and had no problem breastfeeding. My breasts grew. I felt like Pamela Anderson. Althogh now they are little again.
I also knew a woman that was completely flat chested and she feed all her children. It was the only time in her whole life that she had breasts.
The breasts just start to produce milk and your breasts will grow. When you stop feeding they may return to their original size or stay a bit bigger. That is what happened to my Mum.

Honey, when your milk comes in you will be huge, but honestly, the size of your breast is not important.
You are going to be able to breastfeed, even with small breasts. It's the milk ducts that make the milk and as long as they get enough stimulation, you will make enough milk for your baby :)

Once your breast fill with milk they won't be small anymore. I normally have an A cup. But when my son was born I went to a C because of all the milk. Believe me, size won't be a problem.

the size don't matter about producing milk. but having bigger breasts its a challenge for how you hold your baby. But right after you have your baby sometimes it takes a little bit for the milk to come in. but at the hospital the nurses can show you how to get started if you need help.

I was barely an A when I got pregnant. When my milk came in (around 4 days after the birth) they increased to a DD cup (not kidding, I looked ridiculous with them). After about a month of breastfeeding they were about a C cup, and now I'm 4 1/2 months into breastfeeding and they are about a B cup. I actually pump instead of actual breastfeeding (due to medical problems with baby) so I know exactly how much milk I am making and pumping, I pump about 25 ounces in a 24 hour period. Hope this helps you.

You will produce enough milk no matter what size you have....they will also get bigger! I had a 34B before I got pregnant, then I had a 36C and now that my milk has come in I have a 38D, so......You will be able to breastfeed no matter how small your breasts are.

Breast size has nothing do to with it. I've known a lot of big-chested women who didn't have any milk. My mom's small chested and breast fed 9 kids!

The size of your breasts have nothing to do with milk production. You will make as much milk as needed. Your nody works in mysterious ways.
