THE BREAST SIZE NOT GUARANTEE THE PRODUCTION OF MILK

Thus, small breasts can have a highly developed mammary gland able to produce milk for a long time.

However, still there are prejudiced myths and, without medical support, that by having small breasts the milk production is diminished. You must banish this type of things and encourage the importance of breast milk in the newborn , since it is your first food , essential in the first six months of life.

The mother will produce amount of milk that the baby demands. If the baby suckles more continuously, more milk will be produced , while if the baby breast little bit, milk production will decrease.

Regarding its production process, the milk begins to form during pregnancy , but it is the hormonal reaction after childbirth which stimulates the mammary glands to produce milk and lead it to the nipple so the baby can access it. This is undoubtedly a natural process that is ideal for baby's development .
