My breasts are getting so big (and tender) . I know for breast feeding they stay large...will they ever go down to the size they were BP ?

Actually they'll shrink down a couple months into BF'ing, they don't stay big the whole time.

This was my experience, too.

mine stayed pretty big the entire time and only shrunk a little once I stopped BFing.

It varies by individual. I was a DD pre-pregnancy. While BFing I went up to a FF. I havent BF'd in about a year and I am still a FF.

I'm small.. like -A cup

So during BFing they stayed bigger (B cup). Once I weaned they shrunk back (think deflated balloon).

I was a C pre-pregnancy and a D at the end of my first pregnancy and while nursing (a year). They went back to pre-preg size once I was done nursing and bam, they're back to D already during this pregnancy. Kind of scares me for my BFing boobs this time.

Definitely depends on the person. Mine only went up about 1 size, and went back down to PP size after pumping.

My boobs usually go up a couple sizes when pregnant/breastfeeding but once I wean they shrink down smaller than they were pre pregnancy.

I am still breastfeeding but only on one side. Anyhow, the boob I'm not using is smaller than it was pre-preg, and the other boob is larger than it was pre-preg still.

Mine stayed larger until I stopped BF, but once I weaned, they were actually smaller than pre-pregnancy size. DS took everything I had!

Mine went back down in size a bit even while I was still BFing (about 7 months in) and have continued to sag, sag, sag.... Sad, sad, sad...

ETA: The good(?) news is whether you formula feed or breastfeed, your breasts will do the same thing. Just wanted to say that in case that is someone's biggest fear about BFing.

I guess I have weird boobs. Mine never got bigger during my 1st pregnancy, during my almost 2 years of BFing, or when I stopped BFing. Hopefully that will continue this time.

This, they are so sad now and I'm still BFing my 9month old : oh well it's all worth it in the end so just embrace the changes that have and/or will occur its part of being a mommy

Mine got smaller than they were pre-pregnancy last time. I was a B, during pregnancy I ballooned to a DD, and after birth (I did not BF), they went down to an A.

Mine went up 2 sizes and shrank down one but they turned into saggy grandma boobs.
