All the girls I know who have small breasts had great supply. Before I had my baby my bra size was 36C. I was pretty sure I'd have no problems breast feeding. So wrong. The first month my baby was attached to my boob 24/7 because I wasn't producing enough. I ended up supplementing with some formula. Now, I don't have a great supply, but I have more than enough for my LO.
ps. I think it's odd that your doctor told you to pull on your nipples...?

The size of your breasts and your milk supply have no correlation. During my pregnancy at no time did my OB examine my breasts.

Did the doctor explain why he thought you would have problems breastfeeding? Do you have inverted nipples?
I started out as a small A cup, and now at 22 weeks I'm bursting out of a Bcup. I had also had similar questions about small boobs and milk supply and from my research the only down side of having smaller boobs is that you might have to nurse more often because there is less storage space for the milk.

I have smallish breasts - small B before pregnancy and now I'm a C. But at one of my first doctor's appts (before they grew) my midwife told me I had good breasts for breastfeeding. So I don't think milk production is related to size!

From my breastfeeding support group, there were some women with small chests and they could get out like 6-8 ounces at once it was crazy! I'm a D cup and could barely get out 2-4 ounces!

If you are worried about the nipple thing, as your new OB to check em out (sorry that sounds weird). I don't think a breast exam is standard but if you have reason for concern its better to get it looked at now then when a baby is here.

If you do have a flat/inverted nipple you may need a nipple shield. A lot of hospitals for some reason don't always offer them up so you may want to have some on hand when baby is born.

In my last breastfeeding course (for work - I am an NICU nurse), we learned a lot about supply. 99% of the time, breast size has no effect on milk production, with enough stimulation (by breastfeeding/pumping/hand expressing)women of any breast size can produce enough milk for several babies. However, less than 1% of the time, there can be a lack of glandular tissue in the breast, which can impact milk production. This is something you wouldn't necessarily know until you try to feed though.

As far as the comment about your breasts by the doctor. YES, your doctor should be assessing your nipples to identify if they are flat/inverted/fibrous and may need some intervention to make breastfeeding easier. Simply pulling on them is not going to make the shape better though.

To improve the protuberance of flat/inverted nipple, you would wear breast shells (http://www.amazon.com/SoftShells-Breast-Shell-Soothers-Inverted/dp/B000058DPM) for 2 weeks or more prior to delivery (only wear them inside a bra, when you are awake, don't wear them while you are sleeping. These can help the nipples to stick out more, which will make latch much easier.

You can also pump briefly to pull out the nipples before each feed, but that is time consuming, and waiting to latch makes babies angry!

Hope this helps! If you have any questions let me know.

shells really helped my 2nd baby latch on. unfortunately my LC didn't tell me about them with my 1st baby (with whom I had alot of trouble bf'ing), so I highly recommend them! Baby 2.0 is 5 months and bf'ing great. I really think those shells are pivotal if you have flat/inverted nipples.

I was an A before I had DD. The pregnancy made my boobs go up to a full C cup at some point (never thought that would happen). But I never had any problems with supply. So I'm a firm believer that breast size doesn't matter, if anything I think nipples are more of a concern as they could potentiate latching issues

I am a DD (before, during, after pregnancy, through nursing and after... no change at all) and had plentiful supply....

...and so have my friends who are As or AAs.

A friend who is a full C produced 4 oz a day at best. Needless to say, her baby is formula fed.

Has nothing to do with your breast size It does seem to be linked, however, to how much you sweat... I sweat a ton and so do all my friends who had plentiful supply... my friend who had no milk NEVER sweats. I've heard that the same hormone that produces sweat helps produce milk so if you sweat a lot, that's a good sign!
