Breast Size & Breastfeeding: Does Size Matter?
It’s a question we’ve all asked at least once – will the size of my breasts affect how much milk I produce? Here's the answer.
The short answer is no. Although your breasts will likely grow larger before and during your breastfeeding journey, breast size is irrelevant when it comes to how much milk you produce. A mom with small breasts might have just as much milk supply as a mom with large breasts. The amount of milk you produce usually depends on how much your baby feeds – the more they feed, the more milk you’ll naturally produce.
While you’re here, let’s answer other questions you might have on breast size and breast milk amount.

the size of the breasts have nothing to do with the ability to breast feed. the equipment for breastfeeding is very small. nearly all of the volume in bigger boobs is just fat. unless you're lactating, then there's obviously milk stored in there. that's hen 30aa will grow a bit.

That must suck to have such small tits. I'm very happy I'm blessed with FF cup tits naturally. I'm 4'11" and 88 lbs. Us short girls tend to have much larger tits as well as longer hair and more feminine. I have natural pure platinum blonde hair longer than I am tall and the bluest lightest brightest eyes.

You are pregnant, or want to be, or just curious?0 0 0 0That's a good question; I think all women take to breast differently

0 0 0 0size has nothing to do with how well you can breastfeed.
1 1 0 0Of course
0 0 0 0Yes boobs change during pregnancy so the baby can breastfeed easier. So this most likely won't be your size when breastfeeding
3 1 0 0Have you been pregnant yet? They'll probably get bigger when you get pregnant, either way I'm sure they produce milk when they need to.
0 0 0 0I did lmfao
0 2 0 0There's absolutely no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't be able to... And remember your breasts will naturally increase in size during your pregnancy to allow you to do so.
0 1 0 0they will engorge with milk as your pregnancy develops
0 1 0 0They'll grow, before you start breastfeeding
0 0 0 0Your breasts might not produce enough milk to adequately breastfeed a baby. That said, it's not impossible
0 0 0 0Certain medications can make men lactate so I'm sure you will be able to
0 0 0 0They will get a little larger when you lactate.
Your breasts are a chemical factory. Although they store some milk, lactating converts blood plasma rapidly into milk. Even small breasts have the capacity to do that.0 0 0 0Yes, you can.
Your breast will grow when you are pregnant, thereby creating food for the baby. I don’t think breast size affects your body producing milk. :)0 0 0 0If men can do it, you can, too! AND, if men can grow their tits (I know of one guy that naturally grew a set of H cups!) you can, too!!
0 0 0 0Yes, they will not be that small for long
0 0 0 0Yes, you can. You body will adapt as the pregnancy progresses.
0 0 0 0Sure. As long as the kid does its thing they produce milk.
0 0 0 0If you can produce milk, than why not?

@Im_a_girl_lol She must think she can't because of her small boobs. But all she would have to do ask a doctor, or Google it.
