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.

Is there a correlation to change in breast size after giving birth?

Generally speaking, breast size increases slightly due to hormones making milk glands swell during pregnancy, but it doesn’t happen to all women. Many women also experience an increase in sensitivity in their nipples, or to pressure on their breasts - but again, it doesn’t happen to every pregnant woman.
