BreastFeeding

For all the women who have had children and breastfed, does it make you breast sag, shrink, and misshapen?

Actually my boobs didn't go up but one cup size. If they got twice as big as normal I would never have been able to see my toes again. It all depends on the person. I went from a c to a d when I was pregnant and stayed the same size while I was breast feeding. They went back to a large c when my son got off the breast and now that I'm pregnant again they are a c again. All of the damage to my boobs came from me being pregnant. None of it came from my breastfeeding my child.

I agree that pregnancy does make your boobs sag, but breast feeding makes them sag even more. It happens because when you breast feed, your breast are always filled with milk & are twice the size as they normally are which causes the skin to be stretched. Once you stop breast feeding your boobs will go back to prepregnancy size, but instead of being perky, they will be saggy due to the stretched skin. I know this for a fact because I breastfed my daughter for a year. It may not be true for all women, but it is for me. So yes breastfeeding does cause boobs to sag lol.

Ya its pregnancy...but I went with breastfeeding. Either way I didn't care what it did to my boobs cause it was healthy for my child. You can always fix your boobs if you not happy with them.

PregnNcy will screw your boobs up regardless. And wither way the health of my baby is more important than the condition of my boobs ever was. My husband still loves them and most people don't know when I don't wear a bra so they cant be too bad.
