QUICK ANSWER — What Are the Most Common Breastfeeding Myths?
Most breastfeeding myths are false. Breast size does not affect milk supply. Breastfeeding is not always painful.
You CAN breastfeed while sick. You do NOT need to stop breastfeeding when you go back to work.
The formula is not ‘better’ than breast milk. Colostrum IS milk — and it is powerful. Read on for the full evidence-based guide.
1. The Story That Started This Article
Imagine this: It is 2 AM in a modest home in Lahore. Fatima, a first-time mother, is cradling her three-day-old daughter. Her mother-in-law is insisting that the baby is crying because ‘your milk has not come yet — give her formula.’ Her own mother has called twice to warn her not to eat papayas or spicy food because it will ‘harm the baby.’ Meanwhile, a neighbor’s aunt has already advised her to stop breastfeeding the moment she goes back to her teaching job.
Fatima is exhausted, overwhelmed, and — most importantly — confused. She has heard so many different things that she does not know what to believe anymore.
Does this sound familiar? If you live in Pakistan — whether in Karachi, Peshawar, Multan, or a small village in Punjab — chances are you have heard at least one of these myths. Common breastfeeding myths spread fast in joint family systems, through well-meaning relatives, social media groups, and sometimes even from healthcare workers who were not properly trained.
This guide is here to help you cut through the noise. We have gathered 12 of the most widely believed breastfeeding misconceptions new moms believe, and we are going to bust every single one of them — with real evidence, real numbers, and real advice.
2. Why Breastfeeding Myths Spread in Pakistan
Pakistan has one of the lowest exclusive breastfeeding rates in South Asia. According to UNICEF Pakistan data (2023), only about 47% of children under six months are exclusively breastfed — well below the global target of 70% by 2030. This is not because Pakistani mothers do not care — they care deeply. The problem is misinformation.
Here is why myths about breastfeeding spread so easily in our culture:
- Joint family pressure: Grandmothers, mothers-in-law, and aunties often share advice based on what worked ‘in their time’ — without knowing that science has since moved on.
- Social media: WhatsApp groups and Facebook pages often circulate unverified health advice.
- Lack of trained lactation support: Many hospitals in Pakistan do not have certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs) on staff.
- Marketing of formula milk: Formula companies have historically targeted mothers with the message that formula is ‘scientific’ and therefore better.
- Cultural food taboos: A long list of foods is traditionally considered ‘harmful’ during breastfeeding, causing unnecessary anxiety.
- Shame around public feeding: Many mothers stop breastfeeding early because they feel embarrassed nursing outside the home.

5. Myth #1: Breast Size Determines How Much Milk You Produce
| ❌ MYTH #1Women with smaller breasts cannot produce enough milk for their baby. | ✅ FACTBreast size is made up of fatty tissue, NOT milk-producing tissue. Milk supply is determined by how often and how effectively your baby feeds — not by bra size. |
This is one of the most damaging common breastfeeding myths, because it stops women from even trying to breastfeed. In Pakistan, where thin or petite women are often told by elders that they ‘do not have enough milk,’ this myth causes unnecessary formula use from day one.
The truth is that the milk-producing glands (called alveoli) are present in all women, regardless of breast size. A mother’s milk supply is almost entirely driven by demand. The more your baby feeds, the more milk your body produces. This is called the supply-and-demand system, and it is one of the most reliable systems in the human body.
✅ KEY FACTAlmost all mothers — more than 95% — are physically capable of producing enough milk for their baby. Low supply is rare and is almost always caused by an underlying latch problem, not the mother’s body.
6. Myth #2: Colostrum Is Not Enough — You Must Give Formula to a Newborn
| ❌ MYTH #2The yellowish first milk (colostrum) is too little and too watery. Give a formula for the first few days. | ✅ FACTColostrum is the perfect food for your newborn. A baby’s stomach on day 1 is only the size of a marble (5-7 ml). Colostrum is produced in exactly the right amount. |
This myth is extremely common in Pakistan and leads to unnecessary formula supplementation in the crucial first 72 hours of life. Many families see the small amount of yellow colostrum and panic, thinking the baby is not getting enough. This is simply not true.
📊 DID YOU KNOW?
Day 1: Baby’s stomach holds 5-7 ml. Colostrum is produced in 7-14 ml per feed, perfectly matched.
Day 3: Baby’s stomach grows to 22-27 ml. Milk volume increases accordingly.
Colostrum is 3x more concentrated in antibodies and proteins than mature milk.
One teaspoon of colostrum contains more immune protection than an entire bottle of formula.
7. Myth #3: Breastfeeding Is Supposed to Hurt
| ❌ MYTH #3Sore nipples are just part of breastfeeding — you have to endure them. | ✅ FACTMild tenderness in the first few days is normal, but ongoing PAIN is a sign that something is wrong — usually a poor latch. Get help from a lactation consultant. |
This is one of the biggest reasons Pakistani women stop breastfeeding in the first weeks. When pain is treated as ‘normal,’ mothers suffer unnecessarily and eventually give up. The truth is that sustained, sharp, or cracked-nipple pain is NOT normal — it is a signal.
According to certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs), the most common cause of breastfeeding pain is a shallow latch. When a baby only latches onto the nipple instead of taking a large portion of the areola, the nipple is compressed against the baby’s hard palate, causing pain. This can be fixed with correct positioning — and a trained professional can guide you through it in minutes.
💡 TIP
If breastfeeding is painful beyond the first 10-15 seconds of a feed, seek help immediately. Do not ‘tough it out.’ Pain-free breastfeeding is achievable for almost every mother.
8. Myth #4: You Must Eat Only Bland, Plain Food While Breastfeeding
| ❌ MYTH #4No biryani, no spicy food, no fruit, no cold drinks, no garlic, no spices while breastfeeding. | ✅ FACTBreastfeeding mothers need a normal, balanced diet. Your baby was already exposed to the flavors of your food in the womb through amniotic fluid. |
In Pakistani households, new mothers are often put on a very restricted diet — no papayas, no cold water, no spices, sometimes no lentils or citrus. While this comes from a place of love and care, there is little scientific evidence supporting most of these restrictions.
In fact, exposing your baby to a variety of flavors through your breast milk is BENEFICIAL. Research published in the journal Pediatrics shows that babies who tasted a variety of flavors through breast milk were more accepting of new foods when they started solids.
| ✅ WHAT YOU SHOULD EATEat a balanced, nutritious diet with plenty of vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats.Stay well hydrated — drink water when you are thirsty.Avoid very high amounts of caffeine (more than 2 cups of tea/coffee per day).Limit alcohol completely.If your baby seems gassy or fussy after a specific food, note it and check with your doctor — but do NOT self-restrict without evidence. |
9. Myth #5: You Should Stop Breastfeeding If You Are Sick
| ❌ MYTH #5If you have a cold, flu, or fever, you will pass the illness to your baby through your milk. | ✅ FACTWhen you are sick, your body produces antibodies. These antibodies pass through your breast milk and PROTECT your baby. Breastfeeding while sick is almost always safe and beneficial. |
This myth causes Pakistani mothers to abruptly stop breastfeeding when they get a cold or fever — exactly when their babies need the protection of breast milk the most. Your breast milk is not a vehicle for viral transmission — viruses in your body do not pass into your milk.
What DOES pass into your milk? The antibodies your immune system makes to fight that virus. This means your baby gets ready-made protection without even getting sick.
| ⚠️ WHEN TO ACTUALLY PAUSE BREASTFEEDINGHIV infection (in Pakistan, this is rare — check with your doctor about ARV therapy options)Active, untreated tuberculosis (TB) — until you have been treated for at least 2 weeksCertain specific medications — your doctor will advise youFor ALL common illnesses — cold, flu, food poisoning, UTI, fever — breastfeeding is SAFE and RECOMMENDED. |
10. Myth #6: Feeding Too Often Spoils the Baby
| ❌ MYTH #6If you feed your baby every time they cry, you will spoil the,m and they will never be able to self-soothe. | ✅ FACTNewborns need to be fed 8-12 times in 24 hours. Responsive feeding builds brain development, trust, and security — not spoiling. |
The idea of ‘spoiling’ a newborn through responsive feeding is not supported by any scientific evidence. In fact, the opposite is true. Attachment theory — developed by psychologist John Bowlby and supported by decades of research — shows that babies whose needs are responded to consistently develop more secure attachment, better emotional regulation, and greater independence later in life.
Newborns have tiny stomachs. Breast milk digests in 1.5 to 2 hours. This means a newborn genuinely needs to feed every 1- 3 hours again. This is not manipulation — it is biology.
11. Myth #7: Formula Milk Is Just as Good as Breast Milk
| ❌ MYTH #7The formula is scientifically made and is equally nutritious — some say even better than breast milk. | ✅ FACTBreast milk contains live cells, over 200 unique bioactive compounds, hormones, enzymes, and antibodies that science cannot replicate in a factory. |
Formula companies have invested heavily in marketing in Pakistan, and the message that Formula is ‘scientific’ and therefore superior has taken hold. While formula is a safe and important option when breastfeeding is not possible, it is not an equal substitute.
The World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and UNICEF all clearly state that breast milk is the optimal nutrition for infants. The AAP (2022 updated guidelines) now recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and continued breastfeeding for at least 2 years.
| 🔬 WHAT BREAST MILK CONTAINS THAT FORMULA CANNOT REPLICATE• Living white blood cells (leukocytes) that fight infection in real-time• IgA antibodies that coat the baby’s gut lining and prevent illness• Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) — prebiotics that feed good gut bacteria• Hormones, including leptin and adiponectin, that regulate metabolism• Growth factors that support brain and nervous system development• The exact fat composition that changes with each feed (foremilk vs hindmilk)• Antibodies specific to the germs in YOUR environment and YOUR baby’s environment |
12. Myth #8: You Must Stop Breastfeeding When Your Baby Turns One
| ❌ MYTH #8Breastfeeding past one year is harmful, creates dependency, and has no nutritional value. | ✅ FACTThe World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding up to 2 years and beyond. Breast milk continues to provide real nutrition and immune protection well into toddlerhood. |
The decision of when to wean should be made by the mother and child together — not dictated by a birthday on a calendar. At 12 months, breast milk still provides significant calories, fat, vitamins, and immune factors. Many cultures around the world routinely breastfeed for 2-3 years.
In Pakistani culture, extended breastfeeding is actually supported in Islamic tradition — the Holy Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:233) mentions two years of breastfeeding. Yet paradoxically, many urban Pakistani families have adopted a Western timeline of stopping at 12 months without a scientific basis.
13. Myth #9: You Must Wash Your Nipples Before Each Feed
| ❌ MYTH #9You need to clean your nipples with soap and water before every breastfeeding session for hygiene. | ✅ FACTThe nipple naturally produces a substance called Montgomery gland secretion that has antibacterial properties and helps your baby find the breast. Washing it away is counterproductive. |
Your nipples are self-cleaning. They produce natural oils and secretions that protect both you and your baby. Excessive washing — especially with soap — removes these protective oils, dries out the skin, and can cause cracking and soreness. A simple rinse during your daily shower is all that is needed.
14. Myth #10: You Cannot Take Any Medicines While Breastfeeding
| ❌ MYTH #10Any medicine will pass into your breast milk and harm your baby, so avoid all medicines. | ✅ FACTMost common medicines are safe during breastfeeding. The amount that passes into breast milk is usually tiny. Always tell your doctor you are breastfeeding — they can prescribe safe alternatives. |
This myth leads to mothers suffering from treatable conditions — including postpartum depression, infections, pain, and chronic illness — because they fear harming their baby. In reality, the vast majority of common medicines, including paracetamol, most antibiotics, antihistamines, and many antidepressants, are compatible with breastfeeding.
The LactMed database (maintained by the US National Library of Medicine) is a free resource that lists the safety of thousands of medications during breastfeeding. Your doctor can use it to find a safe option for you.
15. Myth #11: Breastfed Babies Are Clingy and Dependent
| ❌ MYTH #11Breastfeeding creates a dependent, clingy child who cannot be separated from the mother. | ✅ FACTBaby temperament is largely genetic. Breastfeeding builds secure attachment, which research shows leads to greater independence, confidence, and social competence in later childhood. |
This myth is often used to pressure mothers into weaning early, particularly in joint family settings where others want to ‘take the baby.’ The science is clear: babies who are securely attached — which breastfeeding supports — are actually more independent, not less.
16. Myth #12: C-Section Mothers Cannot Breastfeed
| ❌ MYTH #12If you had a Caesarean section, your milk will not come in properly, and breastfeeding will be very difficult. | ✅ FACTC-section mothers can absolutely breastfeed successfully. Early skin-to-skin contact and putting the baby to the breast within the first 1-2 hours is the key, just as with vaginal birth. |
With Pakistan’s C-section rates rising (estimated at 15-25% in urban hospitals as of 2024), this myth is becoming increasingly damaging. While recovery from a C-section may require positioning adjustments (such as the ‘football hold’ to avoid pressure on the incision), it does not prevent breastfeeding.
Hospitals that practice ‘mother-baby friendly’ policies allow skin-to-skin contact in the operating theatre itself, and research shows this dramatically improves breastfeeding outcomes after C-section.
17. Timeline: Your Breastfeeding Journey Week by Week
| TIME PERIOD | WHAT IS HAPPENING & WHAT TO DO |
| Birth – Day 3 | Colostrum phase. Feed 8-12 times in 24 hours. Baby’s stomach is tiny. Skin-to-skin is crucial. Do not supplement with formula unless medically necessary. |
| Days 3-5 | Milk ‘comes in’ (transitions from colostrum). Breasts may feel full or engorged. Feed frequently to relieve engorgement. Watch for a good latch. |
| Weeks 1-2 | Milk supply is being established. Feed on demand. The baby should regain birth weight by 2 weeks. Expect 6-8 wet diapers per day. |
| Weeks 2-6 | Supply regulates. Growth spurts at 3 weeks and 6 weeks mean extra-frequent feeding — this is normal. Do not think your milk has ‘dried up.’ |
| Months 2-4 | Feeding becomes more efficient. Baby may nurse faster. Breasts may feel softer — this does not mean less milk. |
| Month 6 | Begin introducing soft, pureed complementary foods alongside breast milk. Continue breastfeeding. |
| 6-12 Months | Breast milk remains the primary source of nutrition. Complementary foods increase gradually. |
| 1-2 Years+ | Breast milk continues to provide nutrition, immunity, and comfort. Weaning is a gradual, child-led process when the time is right. |
18. For Working Parents: How to Keep Breastfeeding After You Return to Work
👩💼 THIS SECTION IS FOR YOU IF:
• You are a teacher, doctor, government worker, banker, factory worker, or any employed mother in Pakistan
• You are worried that returning to work means you have to stop breastfeeding
• Your family or employer is pressuring you to wean before going back
KEY MESSAGE: Returning to work does NOT mean ending breastfeeding. Thousands of Pakistani working mothers do it every day.
Your Rights as a Working Mother in Pakistan
Under the Maternity Benefits Ordinance and provincial labor laws, employed mothers in Pakistan are entitled to maternity leave. While formal lactation room policies are still being developed in many workplaces, the Pakistan Pediatric Association and health authorities strongly advocate for breastfeeding-friendly workplaces.
Practical Steps for Breastfeeding After Returning to Work
- Start pumping 2-3 weeks before your return date to build a milk stockpile in the freezer.
- Invest in a good double electric breast pump — it saves significant time.
- Store expressed breast milk in clean, sealed containers. Milk keeps for 4 hours at room temperature, 4 days in the fridge, and 6 months in the freezer.
- Talk to your employer about a private space and time to pump — even a 15-minute break twice per day is enough for many mothers.
- Ask a trusted family member — a sister, mother, or mother-in-law — to feed your expressed milk to the baby during the day.
- Continue to breastfeed directly when you are home — morning, evening, and night. Your body will adjust to your schedule.
- If your baby is under 6 months, try to exclusively pump and feed. If over 6 months, a combination of expressed milk and complementary foods works well.
19. Tips for Successful Breastfeeding — Actionable Checklist
✅ DO THESE THINGS
Start skin-to-skin contact within the first hour after birth — this is called the ‘Golden Hour.’
Feed on demand — whenever your baby shows hunger cues (rooting, hand-sucking, turning head)
Ensure a deep latch — baby should take the areola, not just the nipple
Feed from both breasts at each session
Wake a sleepy newborn to feed if it has been 3+ hours
Drink plenty of water and eat nutritious, balanced meals
Rest when the baby rests — accept help from family for household tasks
Seek support from a lactation consultant at the earliest sign of difficulty
Join a breastfeeding support group (available in major Pakistani cities)
Trust your body — it was designed for this
20. What NOT to Do — Common Breastfeeding Mistakes to Avoid
❌ AVOID THESE MISTAKES
Do NOT introduce formula in the first days without a medical reason — it reduces milk supply.y
Do NOT give water to babies under 6 months — breast milk is 88% water
Do NOT time your feeds — let your baby decide when to finish
Do NOT use nipple shields without guidance from a lactation consultant
Do NOT stop breastfeeding abruptly — wean gradually to avoid engorgement and mastitis
Do NOT take any herbal supplements (including ‘doodh badhane ke nuske’) without checking their safety
Do NOT ignore pain — it always means something needs to be fixed
Do NOT listen to advice that tells you your milk is ‘not enough’ without a proper assessment
21. Best Ways to Increase Breast Milk Supply Naturally
If you are worried about your milk supply, know that true low supply (called primary lactation insufficiency) affects only about 3-5% of mothers. Most cases of perceived low supply are caused by something fixable. Here are the best evidence-based ways to increase breast milk supply naturally:
- Feed more frequently — the most powerful way to increase supply is to feed (or pump) more often. Aim for at least 8-12 feeds in 24 hours.
- Ensure a good latch — a poor latch means less milk is removed per feed, which signals your body to produce less. Have your latch assessed by a professional.
- Switch nursing — nurse on one side, then switch to the other, then switch back. This helps stimulate multiple let-downs.
- Power pumping — pump for 20 minutes, rest 10, pump 10, rest 10, pump 10. Do this once per day for several days to mimic a growth spurt.
- Stay hydrated — drink 2-3 litres of water per day. Dehydration reduces milk volume.
- Eat enough calories — breastfeeding burns 300-500 extra calories per day. Eating too little reduces supply.
- Rest — stress and exhaustion suppress milk-producing hormones. Sleep is a milk supply tool.
- Skin-to-skin contact — holding your baby against your bare skin releases oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones that make milk.
- Galactagogues (foods that support milk supply) — fenugreek seeds (methi), oats, fennel (saunf), and barley (jau) have traditional support and some scientific evidence. Use in food form first before supplements.
22. Newborn Breastfeeding Problems and Solutions
| PROBLEM | LIKELY CAUSE | SOLUTION |
| Baby not latching | Poor positioning, flat/inverted nipples, tongue-tie | See a lactation consultant. Try nipple shield temporarily. Have the baby checked for tongue-tie. |
| Sore, cracked nipples | Shallow latch, nursing too frequently without breaks | Fix the latch. Apply expressed breast milk to nipples after feeds. See IBCLC. |
| Engorgement (very full, hard breasts) | Milk coming in, infrequent feeding | Feed frequently. Warm compress before, cold compress after. Hands express to soften the areola. |
| Mastitis (hot, red, painful breast + fever) | Blocked duct leading to infection | Continue breastfeeding/pumping. See a doctor for antibiotics. Rest, hydrate. |
| Baby seems unsatisfied after feeds | Growth spurt, poor latch, low supply perception | Check weight gain and wet diapers. See IBCLC for weighted feeding assessment. |
| Baby falls asleep at the breast | Sleepy newborn, not getting enough hindmilk | Switch nursing. Tickle the feet to keep the baby awake. Ensure 8-12 feeds in 24 hours. |
| Milk leaking | Overactive letdown, full breasts | Use nursing pads. Feed before going out. Breathe deeply when letdown is triggered. |
23. Warning Signs: When to Seek Professional Help Immediately
| 🚨 SEEK MEDICAL HELP IF:• Your baby has lost more than 10% of birth weight and has not regained it by 2 weeks• Your baby has fewer than 6 wet diapers per day after Day 5• Your baby is consistently jaundiced (yellow skin/eyes) after Week 2• Your baby is not back to birth weight by 2 weeks• You develop a fever, red streaks on the breast, or severe breast pain (signs of mastitis)• You feel extremely sad, anxious, or detached — this may be postpartum depression and is treatable• Breastfeeding is causing you extreme pain that does not improve with positioning changes |
