For the ones that have natural big boobies!

Okay well I have natural big boobs , before I became pregnant I was a D now iam a Double D , but I'm starting to notice that DD don't fit anymore , so that my change..
I've heard stories about women who are big chested & not had successful breast feeding because they are just so big , it's hard.
I really want to breast feed but have any of you been successful at breast feeding?
& I know all pregnant women grow bigger boobs but I'm talking about ginormous boobs lol not "large" .

I have big breast to from befor. And went up to a DD when I gave birth but thank God I didnt have problem breastfeeding. U just have to get in to a good position with the baby to. I used breastfeeding pillow which help aallooot(recomend) then I just focused on to make her suckle. I mostly use the technick that, I had my nipple between my pointy finger and middlefinger. It wil make only the nipplepart to pop out instead of the whole brown circle and that help my baby to latch on. And I had alot of milk.

I started out at dd both pregancies and grow to ddd in first three months. I plan to breastfeed this baby like first but yes you do need to hold your thumb over the top to keep your Boob off babies nose lol. Otherwise you should be just fine :-)

And i also have to be careful not to suffocate like said above. I just use my thumb to hold the boob back from the nose. I have to be extra careful cuz im dealing with plasticy stuff not skin..

My boobs are not ginormous. They are kinda big. But you should still produce milk, your only problem might be big nipples. My baby cant open his mouth big enough to get my whole nipple, so i use a nipple sheild and he latches to that. It works perfect,

I started out ddd, and actually my breasts didn't grow, but.have shrank a little to a dd. I breastfed my youngest until he was fifteen months. I wouldn't have stopped except I found out I'm expecting twins.
the only.difference is that I needed to use a hand to hold my breast so he didn't suffocate because of the position of my nipples. now that I'm having twins I'm hoping it doesn't cause a problem for tandem feeding because I will let you know even with one, for the first month it will seem like you do absolutely nothing but feed your baby!
