EBF boobs getting smaller?!

Question

Anyone else’s boobs getting smaller while exclusively breastfeeding? They’re now only a size or two bigger than my pre-pregnancy size (I had a 5-size increase). Maybe it’s from downregulation/losing pregnancy weight? Baby seems satiated after feedings but I feel like his growth has slowed. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid and I can’t seem to get a good read by stepping on and off the adult scale with him.
I don’t mind my breasts getting smaller, I just wonder if it’s normal.

Answer

If you lost a decent amount of weight since pregnancy, then your boobs will get smaller even if bf’ing. But as long as baby gets fed ! Although pour one out for reduced boobies lol.

Answer

If your baby is having good wet diapers and pediatrician is satisfied with weight gain, you don’t need to worry about your supply. Babies don’t gain as fast at this age as they do when they’re newborns. It will continue to slow down over the rest of the year. Breast size/“fullness” isn’t an indicator either, as your breasts are now regulated to exactly what your baby needs and nothing more. “Work smarter, not harder”, your boobs say :P why make extra milk if it’s not going to get drunk? At first your body makes a ton of milk because it doesn’t know how many babies you have and how hungry they are, but now your baby eats consistently and your body knows what it’s doing.

Answer

Mine never got any bigger, lol. I pump and my supply is the same.  Mine don't feel full ever anymore either, but I still pump about 50 oz a day.

Answer

My boobs have also shrunk.. I think they’re gone back to my pre-pregnancy size, and I’m not even gonna lie, sometimes I feel like they’re even smaller than pre-pregnancy.

Answer

Same here

Answer

Mine have gotten much smaller. But I've lost some weight. And baby is still getting enough milk so I'm happy!
