Does breastfeeding change the way your boobs look?

by kris123, May 18, 2007 12:00AM
Ok, I got a good question about breastfeeding - I want to do it but I see posts on how it makes you boobs saggy.  I just got a implants not even three years ago and I love them.  I don't want to ruin what I paid $5000 for.  I know the implant will be ok, but will my natual bood in front be all saggy after breatfeeding?

Mine are not as full as they were before I ever got pregnant.  They went back down to the same size, they have just lost the "fullness" they used to have.  I read somewhere though, that most of the changes in you breasts are due to pregnancy itself, not breastfeeding.  I don't know if that is correct or not, just something I read.

I breast fed both of my girls until they were about 8 months and I like my boobs better now.  I was a 34b before pregnancy and breastfeeding and I am now a full C cup and I have not breast fed in well over a year.  Horray for me and double horray for my hubby!

I think it's the hormones of pregnancy that affect it most. Mine are larger now and fuller even after bf twice.Just be sure to get a good bra and everything should be ok. Also, I think that there are certain exercises to do if you have inplants, my sister has them. It also depends on where your inplants are. If they are behind the chest muscle or in front of it. Check with your surgeon if your not sure. Best wishes.

After breastfeeding , I lost a cup size due to less density. My breasts look a lot different now. It is soo worth the nutritional benifits for your baby though. I loved the time I spent nursing my daughter and wouldn't trade it for my firm pre-pregnancy boobs :)

I also have implants, I've had 4 children and breastfed them all, then lost weight at weight watchers and they sagged and sagged. So I had it done last year.
I'm also pregnant again.
My nurse told me it's definitely pregnancy and not so much the feeding that make it happen as your hormones make the changes to your body before the baby is even born. I'm hoping I will still be able to breastfeed this baby (I know some women have a reduced milk supply).

I'm planning to save for an uplift if I need one in the future.

I havent noticed a difference in my boobs since bfing. They changed during pregnancy and the nipple has changed slightly now, due to the sucking, but no sagging ( i have quite large breasts), you should be fine.
