I believe the answer is *yes* - less engorged and specifically because the
breasts have more room to expand (maybe more fat, more connective tissue
between the lobes??).  However, I think the potential for subsequent lower
supply because of inadequate drainage is exactly the same, and furthermore
because there appears to be less "engorgement" the mother may not be alerted
to maintain really good drainage.  So when I come across a large-breasted
woman I am careful to make her aware of breast "fullness" and the need to
drain the breasts really well as often as necessary as the milk is coming in.
