Infant feeding

Is there a correlation between cup-size and ability to express?

A discussion I have been having this evening

I am nork-challenged (36B when feeding, 36A the rest of the time) and was crap at expressing. Tried it over a long period of time, only ever managed 2oz at the most (and that took about half an hour with an electric pump!)

However I happen to know of someone who is much more bosomy and can express loads, quickly

Do tell ...

Me too Blueberry. I went from 34B to a whopping 34B and was awash with milk both expressing and leaking. I needed more than a breast pad when feeding and used to leak about 3/4 ozs a feed. No-one ever mentioned milk donation to me cos I'd have been delighted to give it away. Only heard about it later on here.

I was 36F pre-preg and couldn't get on with expressing at all.
