Does breast size really matter when it comes to breastfeeding?

Short answer: no... at least not in the way you’ve been told.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most common (and confidence-shaking) myths in pregnancy and postpartum care: that breast size determines milk supply. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t. Breast size is largely about fatty tissue, not milk-making tissue, and milk production is driven by supply and demand, not cup size.

We’ll talk about:

What breast size actually means (and what it doesn’t);

The difference between milk storage capacity and milk supply;

Why smaller breasts may feed more frequently, and why that’s normal;

What truly impacts milk production;

Breast shape, glandular tissue, and realistic expectations;

How culture, fear, and lack of support undermine breastfeeding confidence.


Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that breastfeeding is not a pass-or-fail test of your body. It’s a relationship between you, your baby, and the support around you.

If you’ve ever worried your body might not be “enough,” this conversation is for you.
