What if my breasts are small?

Don’t worry of your feel your breasts are small, as size of your breasts is not an indication of how much milk your breasts will produce.

What matters more than the size of your breasts is the increase in the size of your breasts during pregnancy.  If you end up one to two bra sizes larger at the end of your pregnancy versus the start then you are in good shape.

During pregnancy the glandular tissue of your breasts will develop and enlarge.  It is this tissue, not the fatty tissue that makes up the rest of your breast that is important to milk production after you give birth.

So if you feel your breasts are small, don’t worry chances are you and your baby will do just fine at breastfeeding.
