Breastfeeding Quiz
QUESTION: How do I know if breastfeeding will work for me?
ANSWER: Learn about breastfeeding by spending time with other mothers who breastfeed. Go to a local breastfeeding support group before your baby is born. This is a great way to learn about breastfeeding and meet other breastfeeding mothers. Contact your local hospital to find out what is available in your area. You can also attend a breastfeeding class and read a book about breastfeeding to get you prepared.
QUESTION: Does the size of my breasts make a difference with the amount of milk I can make?
ANSWER: No. Breast size is determined by the amount of fatty tissue they contain. Your breast size does not affect your ability to make milk. Both small and large breasted women can make enough milk for their baby’s needs.
QUESTION: Does breastfeeding hurt?
ANSWER: No, it shouldn’t hurt. At first, it can feel a little uncomfortable in the first minute or so after your baby latches. After, you should just feel a tugging feeling when your baby sucks. If you feel pain throughout the breastfeeding session, get help from a lactation consultant to learn how to latch your baby on right.
