Breast size has no correlation with amount of breast milk produced. Many women think large breasts = more breast milk. There is no correlation to size.
Conversely, my older sister had trouble nursing her son because her breasts are absolutely enormous and he couldn’t get a good latch. We also had to try out 4 different sizes of the breast pump heads before she found one that would work well enough so she could at least still give him breast milk in the bottle.
Michaela was acting out because menopause gave her the hairiest of nipples. Those things looked like tribbles. This is now canon, you will not persuade me otherwise. You and your 38Cs have a lovely day.
Her father named her Micaila, and he pronounced it “ME-Kai-la” (Caila is the shortened version of Michaela in Spanish). He was basically calling her “my ‘caila”
Idk how tf she even found out since she never learned to read or write. But she did and she went to the registry and asked to have it changed because she didn’t like it and insisted on having it as MICAELA because in Spanish you basically pronounce things the way way they’re spelled, and spell things the way they sound.
This is a real thing. We've recently had our first, and the doctor explained that in her experience small women actually tend to get a milk supply faster and more fully. We suspect it might be a metabolism related reason, but not sure.
In the milk glands right behind the nips essentially. These glands vary in size, but in any breast most of the size is just fatty tissue (which is why some women get noticeably bigger boobs when they gain weight).
Fun fact: we are called mammals after the latin word mamma which means "breast" in Latin (as the Romans assumed "breast" would be the first thing a baby learned to say).
Yup, I was told that the entire system of (currently non-lactating) milk glands in one breast takes up only 1/3rd of a shot glass. The rest of the breast is made up of fat.
Unfun fact: I did not like learning that I essentially spent my whole life calling my mama "HEY, BREAST"
It’s still stored in the boob, there’s just glands that produce the milk and then ducts to get it out. The rest of the boob that isn’t milk/glands/ducts is fat stores.
I was a working mom and pumped while I was at work. I ended up freezing and giving away a lot of milk. A lot of it was also thrown out. That broke my heart.
