Is there a relationship between breast size and milk supply?

Through understanding, we found that there is no direct relationship between the size of a woman's breasts and whether there is enough milk. The reason for whether there is enough milk is mainly due to the female breast tissue, and secondly it is related to the body's prolactin secretion. Of course, as long as you pay more attention to nutrition in daily life, eat more foods that help promote milk secretion, and maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude. In addition, the baby should be allowed to suck the nipple more, which will help to provide sufficient milk.

Is there a relationship between breast size and milk supply?

To find out the specific reason whether breast size or smallness is directly proportional to the amount of milk produced, let us start from the physiological structure of the breast, that is, the four types of tissues that make up the breast, and understand the true appearance of the breast.

The breasts are located in front of the pectoralis major muscles on both sides of the chest. Their position is related to age, body shape and degree of breast development. They include skin, subcutaneous fat and breast tissue.

Breast tissue is composed of glands, ducts, adipose tissue and fibrous tissue, and has the function of secreting milk. The fibrous tissue, combined with the chest muscles, is the tissue that suspends the breasts to prevent them from sagging. The breasts are attached to the pectoral muscles by fibrous tissue, and the support of the pectoral muscles determines the direction of the breasts. The size of your breasts is determined by the amount of fat you have. The largest component of the breast is fat, with glandular tissue and fibrous tissue floating in the fat tissue.

It can be seen that the amount of milk secretion is not determined by the size of the breasts, but by the amount of breast tissue.

Why is the baby’s “granary” scarce when the mother has adequate nutrition ?

Modern women are all well-developed due to adequate nutrition. Once a baby is born, the mother's milk supply is insufficient and she can usually only breastfeed for a few months. The "big granary" appears to be in a state of continuous "empty warehouse". The cause is often due to blocked milk ducts.

Why does blocked mammary ducts lead to loss of lactation function? What is the cause of the blockage?

Many pregnant mothers did not expect that the bras they usually wear are actually the culprit. The materials that fall off the bra are generally chemical fibers. Those invisible and intangible "hairs" are "unspeakable pain" for breast tissue. After these substances enter the glandular lobes through the mammary ducts, they stimulate the glandular cells, which then produce corresponding immune responses in an attempt to eliminate these foreign substances. In this way, a major battle will take place in the glandular tissue. The result is that the glandular lobes of the glandular tissue are damaged, the glandular cells are destroyed, and the ability to secrete milk is lost. Eventually, breast hyperplasia will occur, which may even lead to breast cancer.

The time has come for "Princess Taiping" to also fight back against the waves and her "chest" will surge!

Most Chinese women believe that breasts are natural and will develop into what they are, and that acquired efforts will not help.

Improvement, no need for frequent care and maintenance. In fact, God is fair to every woman, and pregnancy also gives "Princess Taiping" the opportunity to make her breasts bigger.

Breast weight gain mainly occurs in the first trimester, within 12 weeks. This is the result of the combined action of prolactin hormone secreted by the pituitary gland and a variety of female hormones. Prolactin levels increase dramatically in early pregnancy, promoting the proliferation of mammary gland cells and rapid growth of the lobes in preparation for breastfeeding.

Therefore, women with smaller breasts should seize the opportunity for secondary breast development within 12 weeks of pregnancy and take good care of their breasts to ensure that they can achieve full secondary development. We know that women gain weight when they become pregnant. Ideally, the mother should gain 11 kg of weight during the entire pregnancy before the baby is born. Where did the 11 kilograms go? The baby's birth weight is 3.3 kg; the uterine muscle layer is 0.9 kg; the placenta is 0.6 kg; the breast is 0.4 kg; the blood volume is 1.2 kg; the body fluid is 2.6 kg; and the fat is 2.5 kg. During the pregnancy breast development period, the average increase is 0.4 kg. Therefore, early pregnancy is the best time for secondary breast development.
