breastfeeding question, help!

[belsylvia]

So both my family and my boyfriend have been on me whether I have chosen to breast feed or not. I am a little over 5 months along and starting the plans for the baby shower, so I'm getting questions on breast pumps, formula, what kind of bottles? But I am skeptical cause I love my body and I love my "not yet born" baby and I'm hearing rumors that breastfeeding will destroy my breasts and I'll forever have saggy ugly boobs. Is that true? Cause I would love to breast feed and create that bond

Its the pregnancy that affects ur boobs. Mine look like flat pan caked now. I used to have nice big boobs. ( I'm over exaggerating a lil) lol

I agree, if your boobs are going to sag it's pregnancy related, not breastfeeding.

I plan to breast feed my daughter! You burn so many calories and it creates a bond between the two of you that you can't create by bottle feeding

I am breast feeding my son and even if it did ruin my boobs it's so worth it. The bond you create from doing so is the most amazing feeling in the world

I breast fed my daughter for 13 months and my boobs look the same from before. They're a little bigger but I think, that's 'from my pregnancy. I absolutely loved breastfeeding and can't wait to be doing it again.

I do not have saggy ****!!!
I breastfed both my first two children and plan on my third. If anything is going to cause sagginess its pregnancy! Their are a lot of preconceived notions about breastfeeding. I say give it a try at least. I understand some woman want to treat their body like a temple or whatever. But honestly that's why we were given breasts. Not trying to be blunt.

I breastfed for 13 months and my boobs did not sag very much. More than they did when I was 17, but they still looked good!

Breast is Best! I am going to breast feed, my boobs are already ruined from being stretched and heavy so they sag and I'm only 19 almost 20 , I have no previous experience with breast feeding so I hope someone else answers

No, it doesn't ruin them. Regardless of how things turn out, breasts will sag. It's an inevitable part of life and growing older. When your milk comes in you'll get engorged (happens to everyone) and you'll increase in size. Whatever you choose to do, at some point they will then decrease in size. I BF my daughter for 8 months (I was hospitalized and forced to wean) and notice no difference in mine to what they were before.
