Just anxious

I was just anxious to know how difficult it is to breast feed with large breast

It was not difficult for me. I am a DD. I did have to support my breasts for a few months while doing the cradle hold. It helped to roll a recieving blanket up underneath to help support. It was easiest for me to do the side laying position.

I have E's. The boppy is my best friend right now. I have to support my breast every time I feed. I'm a little saggy now that I have bfed 2 children.

I am also a DD. In the beginning I definitely had to hold my breasts every time, but now I either do the side lying position at night, or have the Boppy on my lap with another pillow under him to prop him up higher and I can do it hands free! :) It's not bad once you get the hang of it.
I LOVE the nursing tanks from Target too for sleeping. They have a shelf bra in them and while I need a bra with them for during the day - they are supportive enough for night while I sleep - I just unlatch, pop him on the boob and let him nurse away!

I'm mid way into my first pregnancy and my breast are quite large (large is understatment) compared to most large women I have come across in BF forms. Considering that most of large breasted women have had such a hard time bfeeding, I'm bit worried.

I have E's and had no problems. My friends swear it is my large tatas that make me produce so much milk. Not the case but a nice thought

I also am a DD. The only problem I had was in the first week. I have very large nipples and my babies each had tiny mouths, so until they got the hang of it, I was in pain. Nicole, I wanted to let you know this, not to scare you away from bfing, but to help you to be prepared. I didn't have anyone to tell me what was going on. Just be prepared to come across 1 or 2 obstacles, but remember, anything worth doing is going to be tough at first. It is the best thing for your child. You can do it!!

All you moms are lucky to have manageable boob size.I was 34JJ before pregnancy and my boobs have been growing ever since, I'm not sure what size they will be when I'm ready to breast feed. My guess is my boobs will be go up by another 5-6 inches by the tine my baby is born. I head once you start lactating boobs get even bigger. Considering all this I was just wondering how difficult its going to be

I wear a 38H (and it's too small) and I do have some issues with my four month old. I always have to have one hand lifting my breast to where ever his mouth is. And I got much bigger after I had him. Thankfully I waited until a couple weeks postpartum before buying a nursing bra. I almost wish I had waited even longer because the one a have is much too small. Sorry I'm so pesimistic; I really hate my large chest.
