Misinformation around breastfeeding can create confusion and fear. Let’s bust some common myths with real facts:

❌ Myth 1: “You won’t have milk immediately after delivery.”

✅ Truth: Colostrum (first milk) is thick, yellow, and produced in small amounts—but it’s packed with nutrients and perfect for your baby.

❌ Myth 2: “Breastfeeding always hurts.”

✅ Truth: Some discomfort may occur at first, but persistent pain is a sign something needs adjusting. Proper latch makes all the difference.

❌ Myth 3: “You can’t breastfeed if you’re sick.”

✅ Truth: Most illnesses do not pass through breastmilk. Instead, your milk passes antibodies to help protect your baby.

❌ Myth 4: “Small breasts don’t produce enough milk.”

✅ Truth: Milk supply has nothing to do with breast size. It depends on frequent nursing and demand.

❌ Myth 5: “You must stop breastfeeding when you return to work.”

✅ Truth: Many working moms continue breastfeeding by expressing and storing milk. Planning and support make it possible.

✅ The more we know, the more confident we become as mothers.
