Take my advice: 10 things breastfeeding mums need to know
If you’re gearing up to embark on a breastfeeding journey, or even if you’ve already trekked many miles with your milk-filled mammaries – make a cuppa, pull up a seat and get the benefit of all my hard-won breastfeeding experience. You never know … I may just be able to save you from making the same mistakes as me!
3. Large breasts don't mean more milk - but they do take some sorting
Don’t be fooled into thinking big boobs = litres of free flowing breastmilk. Likewise, don’t assume small breasts means less milk. It doesn’t work that way, trust me. However, larger breasts do pose a problem for some nursing mums (namely me) – so here’s a little tip for the massive mammary brigade. Grab one of your baby’s muslin cloths, and roll it into a small log shape. This can be placed under your breast to give it a handy, non-surgical lift that may help with attachment, especially when your baby is a newborn.
