Breastfeeding with large breast

I’m a 38G and when my son was super super little I pumped and put it in a bottle. After he was a month and a half he was big enough. He fought it for a bit but eventually got the hang of it. Just watch the little nose that it’s not smothered with the breast :) ask the lactation consultants too. The first I talked to said I was too big and i shouldn’t but the second was patient with me and explained the safest ways to do it when you’re breasty

They have nursing bras that help support your breasts. Those really help. Just hold your breast in one hand and babies head in the other every time you feed. Ask the lactation consultant to help you. I have large breasts and am breastfeeding my second child now. You can do it girl.

You won’t smother keep the nose uncovered. Baby knows how to do it. :)

Babies noses are designed to be able to breath even against mothers breast! Don’t worry!! An IBCLC explained this to me bc I was pushing it out of the way of his nose. Totally unnecessary. Here’s some more info: https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=your-baby-and-breastfeeding-90-P02865

There are many different positions you can look up to breastfeed your little one that should ease your concern. Don’t worry you won’t smother baby. I have large breast and I breastfed my daughter.

When I’m breastfeeding i swell to an h. I agree with the nose thing, I just hold my breast away from her tiny nose until she’s bigger.

I would just try different positions to make yourself more comfortable with it.

I felt the same way with my 1st! I'm a DDD and still have that fear with my 2nd that will be here in a few weeks.

It was a struggle but i managed with both babies but I didn’t breastfeed for that long just first 2/3 months. I’m a 36g. Just watched to make sure his nose wasn’t covered as both my babies were tiny 5lb ers xx

Maybe lay down and feed that's what I have to do. Anxiety is totally understandable. Do whatever you feel is comfortable for you and baby.

You could try pumping a little bit in the morning or evening to reduce the milk ; and then plan your feeding to breastfeed+ supplement with bottle of pumped milk...

Get a consult with international board certified lactation consultant! Best thing to do for breastfeeding!
