If you breastfed 2 or more DC for 1yr+

Were your boobs way worse off after weaning the 2nd (or 3rd etc.) and was it progressively worse each time?

I BF DD#1 til she was 1 and didn't think my boobs were too bad when I finished but I was already PG w/ DD#2 at that point so it may not have been a completely accurate picture :) My best friend nursed both her boys for 1yr and insists her boobs are 10x worse now after weaning #2. Please say it isn't so :)

Re: If you breastfed 2 or more DC for 1yr+

  • Yes, definitely.  With #1 I was an A before and during pregnancy and a B while BFing.  I weaned at 11.5 months and went back to being an A, albeit a slightly saggier, more stretch marked version. :)

    With #2 I started as an A got up to a C during pregnancy and was a D while BFing.  After weaning at 12.5 months I went down to a AA. :(

    I'm up to a big A/small B at 22 weeks this time, but I already told MH that if I shrink below an AA after weaning this one implants are going to be medically necessary! LOL.

  • I definitely think I am more 'deflated' after finishing up w/DD#2.  Pre-kids I was a nice, perky small C.  Now I'm a A, maybe.  And the thing that was really different after DD#2 were my nipples.  They were much saggier, if that makes any sense.  All I have to say is that I miss my old, perky bb's.  Not that I think I'd really ever be serious about a boob job, but my DH is not down with those so I wouldn't do it for that reason either.

  • Sad to say but Yes. I wasn't even that big to begin with, an A and maybe a B when i was breastfeeding and now i still wear an A cup but i don't even fill that out!!!  There's nothing there. :(  I can't imagine how much worse its going to get after 3.

  • sigh... oh yeah.  I'm still a C cup, but it's a very sad state of affairs if I'm not wearing a kick-ass push up bra.

  • I don't think so, but it might be all in my head.  It was such a change pre-pg to post pg with #1 and I was really unhappy with my body.  I looked good before I had DD.  I think I might have been already resigned to my deflated shape by the time post pg with DS (#2) came around.
  • Yes.  They are sadly deflated after bfing 4 children :(   The longest I BF was with our first DD.  I weaned her at 18 mos, because I was pg with our second DD. 
  • I didn't really notice too much of a difference between #1 and #2, but maybe I'm just not remembering correctly? ?Or it could be because I didn't wean #2 until I was very pregnant with #3. ?
