Breastfeeding, hypoplasia breasts/IGT

[LulaLuna]

Anyone had hypoplasia/insufficient gland tissue? Im worried as i have some of the signs of this, and want to be able to breastfeed. Im early days in pregnancy but want to be prepared for whatever the breasfeeding situation will be x

what are the signs you have ?

My boob shape and also not filling out when i went through puberty. Ive stayed a b cup, and they are pointy if that makes sense, not round. Sounds ridiculous but i was reading about breastfeeding and said this might be an issue.

Don't claim to know anything about this, I was a AA cup before getting pregnant and manages to grow to a DD cup and bf. Hope you find that in some way reassuring

Thank you! Yes this helps x

I had this. Managed to mixed feed my three DCs for six months. Key for me was similar symptoms to you and breasts didn't change hardly at all during pregnancy. First time it happened it was quite some destroying as your told to feed and feed and feed and that will bring in your milk but also that babies weight can't drop too much.

I tried everything first time, tinctures, brewers yeast, finger feeding. The things I found that helped were domperidone and getting a prescription before labour and a medical grade pump (and pumping whilst I bottle fed). I also stopped worrying about nipple
Confusion (ie idea you shouldn't introduce a bottle or dummy in the first few weeks) my kids were perfectly OK with bottle (NUK).

@LulaLuna yes know exactly what you mean I was the same my boobs are pointed not full. I’m normally a/b cup and filled to a c heavily pregnant and feed for 6.5 mths x
