Advice needed!
I dont wish to offend anyone by asking this but..
Haha, size doesn't matter thankfully. I could wear an A if I wanted although I normally wear B and boost them up some. I have 1 flat nipple so had to use a shield for 4 mo. Had a good supply. Breastfed 15 mo and start again in 3.5 months :) I actually hear large ones are harder to manage cause you have to hold them back from smothering the babe haha
yup itty bitty here and i've been breastfeeding for 6 months and still going strong. your nipples are more important than the amount of fat in your breast when it comes to how baby latches. milk supply has nothing to do with amount of fat. my baby latches well and i have good supply (ie enough to meet my rather fat baby's needs).
what's important now is to check if your breasts are changing. if your nipples are getting darker and larger in late pregnancy it means the hormones are working right. you can get yourself checked by a lactation consultant and chat with them / attend a briefing if you want to better prepare yourself. but in my experience a good lactation consultant is vital, so do some research on who to talk to. a lousy one can really make you feel awful.
A lactation consultant once told me it is actually often easier when they are smaller.
Unfortunately I never did produce much milk with any of my 4children. My breasts never hurt at all or grew during pregnancy (and I gained about 80lbs with my 1st). Never leaked or anything. I had to supplement as soon as they were born basically, just never really produced. But that has nothing to do with the fact I have smaller breasts, it just happened that way.
When it comes to feeding I say always give it a go and your best shot but if it doesn't work out please don't beat yourself up about it. That's why formula was created.
@yaya, id have to disagree as one of my girlfriends who had her baby nearly a month and a half ago has inverted nipples and wasnt able to breast feed her son unless she had the nipple shields on.
By inverted nipples does that mean that your nipples dont poke out?
I dont have inverted nipples if thats the case
Thank you so much ladies! Its been a worrying of mine since my boobs havent grown at all since being pregnant and i have heard that your boobs grow while you were pregnant from the producing of breast milk
Thank you hun, im a B and wasnt sure how id go
A cup I breastfed my first for 18 months and my second for two years without problems.
