Second (or more) time Mamas who breastfead

AfterAllAfterAll
in January 2012 Moms

I asked the doctor yesterday why my breasts were not really sensitive this time, and why they had not gotten bigger.  Last time by this point they had gone from a B to a D.

He said they very well could be desensitized from nursing, and I burnt a lot of breast tissue while bfing, so they will not get as big as fast until I start producing milk.

Interesting.  Just wanted to pass that along in case anyone else was wondering.

    That's interesting. My chest was super sensitive for a few weeks. I'm also getting a little bigger. I nursed 2 kids (for a year each). I am hoping all is well with being able to nurse baby #3. I was so pleasantly surprised when my milk came in on day #2 with my daughter. With my son, it took 4-5 days.

    My breasts are tender right now and fuller. But the nipples don't hurt and it is only my right breast. I breastfed a lot (3 times for at least 12 months each) and the more pregnancies I have had the less they hurt...so he is right.

    Mine have really grown too already. I only nursed DD for 5 months and that was 2 yrs ago now.   Okay here is the TMI part ;  with my last pregnancy I started to "leak" at like 5 months. I am going to ask my dr. about that if I should expect it this time, but goodness do I hope not. :-(

    Yep.  I started leaking at about 24 weeks.  It sucked.

    I noticed that with my first pg my bbs were very sensitive as soon as I got my BFP. With my 2nd pg they didn't get sensitive at all, and looks like this time it's going the same way.  They have not changed at all.  I did get bigger with my 2nd pg though, hopefully that won't be the case this time.

    I figured that was the case. No big boobs for me last time or this time. I'm an A so it would have been nice. Sigh.
