Was his/her head bigger or smaller than your boob?
My LO's head was definitely dwarfed by my boob until she was a few months old. I was always so worried I would suffocate her while she ate!!

Smaller! I had to hold my boob otherwise she would be pressed up against it and couldn't breathe.

smaller. I remember being excited when he had grown and boobs had deflated enough that his head was bigger!
i never had to hold the boob out of his way though, there was no squish to them. crazy melons!

Smaller! I had to hold my boob away from his nose so he could breath for months.

Bigger. I have small boobs that didn't grow almost at all during pregnancy and only filled out a tiny bit when fully engorged.

Smaller, he was 6 weeks early and tiny, so my boob was probably 4 times the size of his head. I have a picture of the first time I nursed and it is mind blowing how much bigger my melons were than him. I had to hold the boob for months before I felt like I wasn't going to suffocate him.

Um...close to equal? Now her head is definitely bigger than them though, both because she grew and because they have shrunk back down a bit

We have a great picture of her nursing though and her head looks so small.

My boobs hardly grew at all. I was waiting and waiting for it to grow but it stayed the same. My stomach, hips, butt, and face sure did grow though. So my LO was way bigger than my boobs.

Her head was bigger. Always. I never had this fear of smothering my baby with my giant jugs.

Even though my boobs (even BFing) are small and DS was born at 41+2 with a HUGE head, my boobs were way bigger!

Smaller. It totally made me laugh. I'm glad they've shrunk/she's grown.

Smaller bc he was born 3 weeks early (induction) and quit growing when he was 32 weeks old so he was more like 8 weeks early! He had to be bottle fed for a few weeks because my boob was overwhelming him. And I have small boobs to begin with!

Haha my boob was SO much bigger than her head. I have a funny picture of her breastfeeding early on and her head is dwarfed by the ladies. I was really worried about suffocating her with my boob too, but the LC said their noses are positioned different than an adult so they are able to breathe easier when against something. Also they pull off if they start to suffocate.
Her head is just starting to even out with my boobs.
