Small boobs can breastfeed?

Noob question 🤣 but I was wondering , does people who have small breasts (A cup / B cup type) successfully breastfed their baby? I'm quite flat chested and I'm worried that it might contribute to a failure of breastfeeding as baby will have a harder time to latch on. I was unsuccessful with bf-ding for my firstborn , but I wanna try with my upcoming one. Bm is definitely the best for babies and I really don't wanna resort to formula feeding unless there's really no production. Care to share your experiences (for those with small boobies? But success in bf)

Your breast size will not affect breastfeeding nor your supply. I am always an A cup and I’m almost 1 year into pumping. I didn’t latch on for long so that my hub can at least do the night feedings. However I still latch baby on and off till about 4 months before she had teeth and started using my nipples as teether. You don’t necessary have to latch on solely, pumping is more work but can equally provide bm for your bb 😊. Breastmilk works on supply and demand so the more you signal your boobs that bb needs more milk (frequent latching or pumping), the more supply it will produce. Bf is always hard at the initial stage regardless of direct or pumping, so you just need to tahan for that short period then behind will be easier already. I struggled so badly with low supply and so many episodes of mastitis for the first few months, but subsequenly once I got the hang of it, I became oversupply, had a stash and even manage to donate. In short, breastfeed has nothing to do with cup size, just need to have the motivation, patience and will power haha.
