Breastfeeding and Pumping: Bigger Breast Issues

Hello my fellow momma’s,

Having bigger breast unless they are super perky makes breastfeeding and pumping more difficult. I honestly can say my breasts aren’t perky and when I had my baby I had a very different view of what breastfeeding would look like.

There are so many pictures out there of moms feeding their little ones and still doing other tasks. I found that I have to hold my baby and the breast that is being fed from. If I was to not hold it, the breast slides and the nipple pops out of the mouth. If my baby is tired enough a nursing pillow will work to support her so I can get one hand free.

As for pumping I have a similar issue. I find that if I’m going to use a single or hand pump, I have to hold my breast. Luckily I have a nursing bra for when I’m double pumping. Although I find I still need to hold the bottles in a certain position to help the flow.

So, the only advice I can give you is get a really good nursing pillow and nursing bra.
