BF question - shrinking boobies after 5 weeks?

I'm so confused.  I've been exclusively breast feeding and all has been going great.  But suddenly I seem to have shrunken back down to pre-breastfeeding sized boobs.  What is going on?  Has this happened to anyone else?  If so, did it mean anything in terms of your milk supply lessening?  I have my 6 week appointment this week and will talk to the OB about it, but figured I'd ask here too.

  • Your supply is probably just regulating to meet LO's needs. When mine did my boobies stopped being hard like bricks and now feel pretty normal

  • Everything I read says what's happening to you is normal.  This is my 1st time BF'ing and I am anxiously awaiting when this happens to me!  lol
  • Oh, bummer.  I thought I was going to be enjoying this extra cup size the whole time I was breastfeeding.  :)  As long as the little lady is getting enough to eat though, I guess I can't complain.  Thanks girls.
