Breastfeeding help!!!?

Question

how does breatfeeding affect your nipples.does it make them enlarged or do they go back to normal once you are done all together. i am pregnant and exploring my options any opinions?

Answer 1

Everyone is different.  Did your mom breastfeed you?  If she did ask her what changes she noticed.  That's going to be the best way of guestimating what changes you might have.

Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 2

my nipples got bigger and when I was done with breastfeeding they went back to normal.

Answer 3

well my nipples got bigger during my pregnancy, i am breastfeeding and they are still the same, but the breastfeeding clinic said they should go back to normal after breastfeeding. but bigger nipples isn't really something to worry about when breastfeeding, there are way better things like the health of your baby and how breastfeeding makes your tummy and uterus go back to normal faster

Answer 4

Your nipple appearance shouldn't play a factor in if you decide to breastfeed or not, seriously that doesn't matter. Anyways, my nipples have always been larger but they did seem to get bigger during pregnancy but they didn't get any bigger with nursing nor did they get any smaller.  My nipples are pretty much the size they were before I got pregnant with my first son.  My bestfriend said her nipples stayed the same as well.  

Answer 5

Your nipples stay relatively the same. I breastfed both of my boys and the only difference with my nipples are that they are a little more perky now. I have small nipples and mine always seemed to be smashed flat or barely stick out and now they just look like they should lol. My b*****s aren't saggy or gross either. I LOVED breastfeeding! I felt so happy every time I fed my boys and it was great to see them growing and thriving from my breast milk. I really hope you wouldn't consider not breastfeeding just because you're afraid your b***s might be affected. After all, breastfeeding really is the ONLY purpose for our boobies anyway lol. Here's some really motivating information for you regarding breastfeeding. Good luck!!! www.promom.org/101
