Only during menstruation can one feel a slight swelling in both breasts. In fact, after pregnancy, expectant mothers may also feel a small lump in both breasts, which feels hard to the touch. However, some people, when they are about to give birth, find that their breasts are very soft and worry about not having enough milk in the late stages of pregnancy?
It should be noted that everyone has different reactions during pregnancy, and this does not mean that everyone's breasts will always be hard during pregnancy. If they are not hard, it means it is abnormal. This statement has no scientific evidence to prove it. So some mothers may find their breasts soft and fluffy, like cotton, when they are about to give birth.
Don't worry about having too soft breasts leading to a lack of milk. In fact, there is no connection between the two, so don't associate soft breasts with a lack of milk. It should be noted that postpartum prolactin plays a role in affecting milk secretion, and breast tenderness is not directly related to milk.
If you want your baby to have a continuous stream of milk, you must encourage them to suckle more, especially after the baby is born. You should place the baby next to the mother, with the mother leaning sideways and placing her nipple in the baby's mouth. The baby will instinctively suckle on the nipple, and the more they suckle, the more milk they will have.
