Large breasts
If you have large breasts, you might find it easier to support the nursing breast while your baby is feeding. Ensure that your fingers are away from the areola (the dark skin around the nipple) and support your breast as close as possible to its natural height.
Some mums place a rolled-up towel or baby blanket under a large breast to raise and support it slightly.
Although breastfeeding your baby can be tricky as you need one hand to support your breast and you might even suffer from heat rashes under and between your breasts, the good news is that the more breast tissue you have, the more breast milk you can store and give to your baby in one feed. This doesn’t mean that mothers with small breasts have a smaller overall supply, but they might have to feed their babies more often than women with large breasts.
Biological nurturing can help as you don’t have to support your breasts while breastfeeding.
