Are my breasts too big to breastfeed?

 

 
BABY'S NAME: Isaac
BABY'S AGE: Not born yet

Will my breast size be a problem when breastfeeding? I was a 34DD but now I'm a 36DDD. Won't I hurt my baby or cause him to suffocate? I'm really worried about this.




 

When your milk comes in your breasts might get a bit larger. That should not interfere with your ability to breastfeed. I have worked with women size 46 H that were able to breastfeed. I might suggest you think of using the clutch or football position, as that would be easier.

Good luck,
