Check This First, Mom! 6 Common Breastfeeding Myths That Can Be Misleading

August 7, 2025

Hi BeeFams!

You’ve probably come across some myths about breastfeeding that can cause unnecessary worry or confusion. Let’s take a look at some of the most common ones — and what the facts really are!

Myth	Fact
Frequent nursing means low milk supply	Breast milk is easily digested, so it's normal for babies to get hungry more often.
Breastfeeding makes your breasts sag	Sagging is mostly caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy, body weight, age, and gravity — not breastfeeding.
Small breasts = less milk	Milk production doesn’t depend on breast size, but on the amount of milk-producing glandular tissue inside.
Pumped milk shouldn’t be given in a bottle — babies will get nipple confusion	It’s okay to use a bottle, as long as you introduce it gradually and give it with love and attention.
Sick moms must stop breastfeeding	If the illness is mild, moms can keep breastfeeding. In fact, breast milk contains antibodies that help protect the baby.
Moms can’t eat spicy food while breastfeeding	Breastfeeding moms can eat anything — just be mindful of any allergic reactions in your baby.

BeeFams, there are plenty of breastfeeding myths out there, but that doesn’t mean you have to believe them all. Equip yourself with the right knowledge to breastfeed comfortably and confidently.
