Can a woman, with very small tits, nurse a baby?

I have always been under the impression that size did not matter. But recently one of my favorite dancers had a baby and not wanting to get a mouthfull of mothers milk, I asked her if she was still nursing. She said no. That her tits were too small to breast feed. That they couldn't hold enough milk. I believe that she did not breast feed. I can tell by the way they look and feel. The nipples stay pink and soft if they haven't and get dark and hard if they have. I know that some women do not want to breast feed for many reasons but this is the first case that I have heard of, where she couldn't. Anybody got any insight into this. Evilcyn?

Chandler, I always thought the grammar argument was the lame fall back for someone who couldn't think of a pithy reply. It's about one step above chasllenging someone to a fight.
Interestingly, I regularly email with a few people that are teachers (one is a TUSCL regular - but non-poster, and the other is a dancer in her spare time). They BOTH have atrocious spelling "skills". One of my son's teachers (5th grade) also is a very poor speller. It amazes me that someone with that disability could have become a teacher.
Even though it is a bit annoying to see those errors (and I know I inadvertantly make those same errors, so I'm not saying I'm any better than anyone else), I see no need to attack someone for their spelling skills - or lack thereof. Let's just overlook them, and keep this board free of personal attacks, and concentrate on what this board is supposed provide for us; lively discussion about strip clubs, hot women and sex!
I think it's untrue that small-breasted women can't breast-feed. I believe this may be a myth perpetrated by people who wish to avoid breast-feeding in order to maintain perky, youthful-looking breasts. Maybe it's gotten misunderstood over time, or taken for true. Breast-feeding is difficult for some mothers, especially first timers, simply because it's a strange cognitive skill (so they tell me) of both trying to make the baby do something, while also relaxing and not trying to make anything happen.
On a related note, I find nursing women to be extremely unpleasant to think about. I know some guys are turned ON by the idea of a woman who has milk to offer, or even by the idea of a pregnant woman. (Her tits do get all bloated and pendulous-looking, I guess ...) I'm just not interested. I want her to be in "tip top" shape with perky NON-LACTATING tits, thank you. But that's just me. There's a market for EVERYTHING out there ...
I have always wondered if it's really safe to breast feed for the kid if a girl has breast implants. I guess it would be if nothing has ever leaked but that makes me wonder how often breast implants leak and even if the chance is small what could happen to the kid?
CasualGuy: With the scare a few years back over the use of silicone gel-filled implants, I think most 3rd-party, afermarket add-ons are saline filled these days. Of course saline is very harmless, and nothing to worry about, should it leak. Either way, if leaked, I don't think there's any chance that it will be expelled through the nipple of a nursing mother. (I'm not a doctor - although I play doctor once in a while during role playing - so I could be wrong)
and her's are perkier than some 20 yr olds', not to mention she doesnt look a day over 35, without ever having any nips and tucks.
Well just to show the level of male concern on this topic, I thought someone just wanted some female input from a couple of female posters here, it took me about 4 seconds to do an internet search and read "most females can produce enough milk for their babies". It would have to be an extreme case. However the word most means that some woman do not have enough milk. I am wondering what that small percentage is though. I don't know who may know that information. The percentage of woman who actually breastfeed in the first place is around 62 percent I read from someone else's post. I wasn't even really that interested in this topic.
#1 I did intend to insult anyone, I was merely adding to the topic. #2 fuck you and your smug attempt to bash me. I have read plenty of yoor comments and all of them do not contain perfect grammar and/or spelling. Nor do you ever make any valid points. You just sit around on this website waiting to citique someone. I appreciate those who understand or understood my point of view. So again, fuck you. Goodbye!!
Chandler:
Thank you for being kind. Obviously you get it.
As a PS most of the breast is ornamental, at least in the larger ones, that whole anthropology thing again.
Please, make, me, stop... I, sound, like Kirk.
Wouldn't it be off-topic to post about strip clubs in this thread?
