Milk is produced in glands that are deeply buried in the breast, not in the fatty tissue, so breast size is no indication of how much milk you can produce; even small breasts are perfectly adequate milk producers.
Milk is produced according to demand – you supply what your baby needs, so don’t worry that you’ll run out of milk if your baby feeds very often. Your breasts are stimulated to produce milk by your baby’s sucking, so the more milk they will produce, and vice versa. During the time that you breastfeed, the amount of milk available will fluctuate according to your baby’s needs, and once he becomes established on solids, the breasts will produce less milk.
Frequency of feedings
At first your baby will eat little and often. By about two months, most babies eat roughly every four hours and take more at each feeding than before.
