What happened to your breasts after you stopped breastfeeding?

Question

Was wondering what your personal experience with what your breasts looked like after you stopped breastfeeding was?

Answer

this is my experience with pregnancy and breastfeeding. my pre-pregnancy breast size is a 32B, during my pregnancy I go up one cup size (32\34C) and they stay this size until my milk comes in, they get to about 34D\34DD and they stay this size for about 4-8 weeks and start to go down after that still breastfeeding. after 3 kids and 1 on her way my boobs always go back to a 32B and look the same as from before I even had kids. they're not deflated, they're not saggy, they look absolutely the same.

Answer

Mine are already starting to sag and I've only been breastfeeding for 7 weeks. I'm so scared to see them when I stop 😖😖😖

Answer

I stopped bf cold turkey after 18 mos. They were like pancakes at first and then the skin tightened back up. Now that I'm 5 weeks with my second they've grown as full as the first time and my bras no longer fit again. I'm planning to ebf again this time but I won't wean all at once. Last time it was necessary but I doubt it will be this time. So I'm guessing my bbs will have time to adjust instead of just flattening out.

Answer

Mine have sagged all along I'm a 36 DD, so sagging is inevatable! I have actually compared mine with other girls, my age & younger with comperable size who have & haven't breast fed but, have all had children & I have found the breast feeders to have the best breasts. Mine sag  from weight but, nipples are still perky & out front & they are still full and round. My man says he thinks my breast are perfect. Means a lot cause I've had a lot of guys tell me they're too big.🙁 I breast fed my 2 children for 12 months each. They get overly full with milk & I have stretch marks on the underside but, I think the benefits of breast feeding are worth it & I enjoyed breast feeding. You should really look more at your life style when deciding than what it might do to your breasts. They will sag eventually anyways.
