If your breasts have not changeed at all during pregnancy I would see a lactation consultant before the baby comes. there could be a problem ↑

Size does not matter? the milk is made as your baby nurses. As long as your breasts have changed some there should be no problem. Breastfeeding can be challenging so don't give up in the end it turns out to be the most rewarding experience in the world. I failed my first child but have sucessfully breast feed three others and I am still nursing the youngest. Remember it can take four sometimes five days for the milk to come in after birth so just keep nursing by the fifth day your breasts will feel full hard but may not be much bigger this is okay but if they are not full by day five see a lactation consultant immediatly. Do not supplement formula until you speak to a lactation consultant. They have tests to see if and how much your child is getting.
Don't worry ↑
