Breastfeeding and bra size

Ok, sorry for all the BF questions lately and sorry if these are dumb.

What happens to your boobies as you continue to breastfeed?

DD is 6 weeks old, am I likely to change sizes at this point, or is my current size going to be my bra size most likely while I BF?

For example, as the baby grows and drinks more milk, did your bra size change again?

What about when you wean? Did you go down to your original size? Stay a the nursing size?

I am going to need some new bras and trying to decide when I should go get measured/make purchases. Also, want to get rid of old stuff but not sure if I should hang on to old bras or not.

Re: Breastfeeding and bra size

I was the same size bra for ther duration of breast feeding (14 months) the last 2 I got smaller bc dd was eating more solids and whole milk. When you wean your boobs will go down in size. 2 months post breastfeeding I am a size up from where I began prepregnancy but obviously a lot different! I got the cheapest nursing bras at destination maternity ($20) and they were great!

Edited for spelling

Re: Breastfeeding and bra size

While i was breastfeeding/pumping I didn't notice any huge changes in sizes though I only wore nursing bras which are more stretchy than "regular" bras.

While its probably unusual, after I stopped I lost a bit of volume but the size stayed within the same cup size as before (which was a cup or two larger than pre-breastfeeding).

I'd definitely wait about 4 weeks after you stop bfing to see where you end up.
