Does breast size matter?

Size of breasts is not a factor with breastmilk production or storage.

Why is one of my breasts bigger (more milk) than the other?

Breasts come in different shapes and sizes. It is not unusual for one breast to be larger than the other and breastfeeding may make this difference more pronounced.

If you are concerned ask for assistance from your Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) midwife, a La Leche League counsellor, Well Child Health provider or a Lactation Consultant.
