Hi,
I think is pretty common for small breasts to have the glandular tissue but not fat. Mine are like that. I have always been very small (small A to AA depending on the day), but was still able to breastfeed my three children. Actually, they got sooo big after the birth of the first one, all the way to a D cup, all milk grands. So after breastfeeding, when the glands stopped producing milk and regressed, my boobs went back to their small size and then some (AAA!). Now I am trying to get some fat on them using brava and PC cream.
So if you have glandular tissue and not fat, you can still breastfeed. However, if you have insufficient glandular tissue, it may present a problem. As far as I understand, most women with insufficient glandular tissue will develop enough during pregnancy, as the breast tissue continues to mature and develop under the influence of the pregnancy hormones. Only a small percentage will truly unable to breastfeed due to lack of glandular tissue. So take heart, it is very likely you will be able to do it if that is what you want!
