Facts:
𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋 VS INSUFFICIENT BREAST TISSUE
At The Breast Choice we use different language on purpose
Only 𝟏𝟎 𝐭𝐨 𝟏𝟓 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 of women have a true low milk supply
About 𝟐 𝐭𝐨 𝟓 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 have what is medically called insufficient glandular tissue
We often say less than 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞
Because bodies exist on a spectrum not a pass or fail system
Milk can come in hormonally
Yet volume may stay lower due to limited milk making tissue not effort
More pumping does not create new tissue
Support plans focus on baby growth bonding and parent wellbeing
Partial breastfeeding is still breastfeeding
Every drop matters
Language matters
Care plans matter
Families deserve clarity without shame
