Post partum breasts???

What happened to yours afterwards? After getting really large while I was BF, I think my breasts have gotten smaller! It's pretty pathetic actually because I couldn't afford to lose anything!

I know it's normal, but does this happen to everyone and secondly, does BF really make the situation worse, or is it just pregnancy?

I read this debate - and was told that regardless it's pregnancy - NOT breastfeeding that makes them like that.

I felt smaller too after I decided to stop bf but I think it was just a year bf'ing, a year pregnant followed by another 5 months of bf'ing had me used to my new size.

On the other hand, now that I've gained so much weight - they're big again.Chat Icon

Mine are a bit smaller than I started with...which is not good. But it is what it is and I am not having surgery to plump them up so I just get padded brasChat Icon

Wow I am the opposite. I didn't breast feed. My milk never came in and my breasts are just a little bit bigger than they were pre pregnancy and believe me I didn't need them any bigger!

Mine are a tad smaller but fuller if that makes sense and back upright where they were supposed to be. I wore a bra 24-7 while pregnant and breastfeeding. I'm a 32B now.
I also agree that Pregnancy does the damage not breastfeeding. I believe shelling out tons of money on bras as I grew and sleeping in them made all the difference as compared to some of my other friends who didn't while pregnant and never breastfeed.
