i was just wondering some people say their pregnancy made their boobs all small and loose othere people say its because breastfeeding. im thinkin about breastfeeding but i dont want my boobs to get all small and stuff. What do you think?
Age and gravity
I breast fed both my babes. They got the biggest when I was pregnant and about the first week after delivery as I was starting to fill with milk. However, once you get into the BF flow, you only make as much milk as your baby is taking. Breast feeding is one of the healthiest things you can do not just for your baby, but, for your health. Breastfeeding reduces the risks of many cancers and there’s nothing quite like the relaxing feeling you get when the mothering hormone releases…
If anything, your breasts will return to the size they were before you were pregnant, they certainly would not get smaller than that.
ok i think it is the pregnancy because your boobs fill with milk whether you brest feed or not. since they get bigger, the skin will stetch and when the milk is gone and your back to the way you were, they can have stretch marks and be more saggy. but you know what, your having a baby. the world doesnt revolve around you anymore. do what is right for your baby because it will be good for them, not how your boobs will look when your naked.
Many factors come into play. As we know in most cases, breastfeeding baby is a good thing.
Things that affect the breasts include genetics, weight gain and hormonal fluctuations.
Most people return to their former self after giving birth and breastfeeding. Wear a good supportive bra that is comfortable.
I think overall you will be happy with the “after,” so I wouldn’t worry at all.
I breast fed all 4 of my children Small? quite the opposite. Mine got rather large while breast feeding. They have to, after all, they are carrying a food supply for an infant. Once you stop breast feeding, they shouldn’t be any smaller than they were when you got pregnant. NOW, when you’re my age, 62, gravity takes it’s toll. They end up pointing south, and looking like large prunes. Nice huh. See what age does. Just kidding. I’m glad I nursed my children, I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I think it’s wonderful that more women are opting for breast feeding than bottles. It’s a lot cheaper and healthier too. Good luck with your new baby. I pray you have a wonderful, healthy, happy baby. Be blessed
yes some peoples breasts do get smaller after having a baby, i do not know why, but occassionally it does happen, mine have stayed larger and are definately not pretty after breastfeeding, after baby number 2 im getting a reduction and a lift lol
