• MYTH: MOMS WITH SMALL BREASTS CAN'T MAKE ENOUGH MILK

‍

TRUTH: False. Breast size doesn't matter at all. Milk production has nothing to do with breast size.

• MYTH: IT'S NORMAL FOR BREASTFEEDING TO HURT

‍

TRUTH: No, it's not true. It's common to have some tenderness during the first few days and it doesn’t last long. Breast milk contains components that help heal your breast nipples when they're sore, that is, your milk itself can give you some relief.
