When my son just ate, my b*****s feel soft & look smaller.. Is this how they'll be when i stop breastfeeding?

Question

yay, i hope my b***s go back to their smaller & perkier shape =]

Answer 1

Possible, but to clear up one thing - breastfeeding does not make the breast sag - what makes them sag is when the tissue around the breast becomes weak - this can be caused from age or breast enlarging during pregnancy (not due to BF). It is hard to tell how your brest will be once your milk ducts go back to the way they were before BF.

Answer 2

A lil bit, but not a lot.  That just means that your baby "emptied" your b*****s!

Mine hardly sag the way they say bfeeding moms should, and I did it for over 2 years!!

Answer 3

i dont really know since im still nursing my 16 month old but from what i've been told yes

BTW to all the idots who think so- breastfeeding doesnt cause your b*****s to sag- pregnancy does, because either way your b*****s strectch and the sagging is due to weight gain and loss

Answer 4

When I stopped breast feeding my son they went back exactly how they were before he was born; smaller and perkier! :)

It took a couple weeks for my nipples to drain completely and 'deflate' and no longer leak .. but after the week or two, they were back to normal! :)

I think right now yours are just emptied .. they will look even better when you're completely done breast feeding ..

Answer 5

nope they will get smaller and sag

sorry to be the one to give you bad news

Answer 6

No. there are just wore out and in a day or so they will return to normal.

Answer 7

thats pretty much the size they'll go back to but they probably wont be as perky. they'll probably sag a lil thanks to the stretched skin from breastfeeding.

Answer 8

I think it all depends on yOU and your genes.  Mine are way less perky after breastfeeding for 10 1/2 months.  They are better though, from when I first stopped.  Lots of pushups!!!!!!

I have seen women bounce right back though in the same situations.
