Re: Does size affect the ability to BF

I'm not small chested, so I can't answer from personal experience, but everything I've read & been told says that size doesn't matter. It's still entirely possible for you to go up in size after birth when your milk starts coming it. I grew during pregnancy & after my daughter was born I still grew again.

My mom was barely an A and BFed both me and my sister for 2 years, a piece. (After BFing she ended up becoming a B.) So no, size doesn't really matter.

From what I've read and learned in my BFing classes, no size doesn't matter.

I am not small chested, but my boobs did not change at all during pregnancy (except my nips - tmi Chat Icon ) so don't worry about that either. Chat Icon

nope -

I was a D, now a DD... and I assumed I would make a ton of milk, but I would say I'm an average producer.

Milk production has to do with how dense your milk glands are, not how big your boobs are.

i was a c pre-preg with my son, then a DD after birth and didnt produce enough milk, so i would say size doesnt matter.
