Does the size of the breast affect the ability to breastfeed?
*No, there is little correlation between breast size and the capacity to produce milk. Only a small number of women with insufficient breast tissue will be unable to breastfeed. * Difficulties in milk production may be related to breast surgery (e.g., breast reduction), however this is not always the case. * Minimal changes in the breast during pregnancy and failure of post-partumengorgement may be early signs of difficulties with breast milk production. * Consult your health profession or lactation specialist to help you assess the situation.
