Re: Breastfeeding moms - have your boobs shrunk?

  • I'm still breastfeeding and they are bigger than before baby, but smaller than a few months ago.

    I am still bfing. I no longer fit in my new bra (bought in March). I meant to measure themthis morning. The band is too big and the cups are too small. :((
  • Still breastfeeding.  They're about the same as pre-preg at this point, but saggier.  :(

  • Stopped bfing within the past month. They are smaller than they were, but not back to pre-preg. I have no bras that currently fit, since I don't want to get new ones to have them not fit if I shrink more over the next couple weeks.

  • Well, I don't really like boob feeding on my right side, so I have one huge boob and one medium sized boob....I look very lopsided.

    Same! My left boob has a way better letdown. So now I've perpetuated the problem and have one small & one large (large is relative).

  • Saggy baggies
  • Still nursing. They're smaller than they were a few months ago, but bigger than pre-baby.

    After my other kids weaned, my boobs were so tiny. It was sad. I completely understand why people get boob jobs when they're done having kids.

  • The girls were big to begin with but since I am still BF I have no idea what will happen. I am hoping they get smaller so I could get some cute bras.

    They're bigger now because I still breastfeed but they might be smaller when I'm done - so I'm not sure. 

    Plus I still weigh ~8 lbs more than PP which may contribute to boob size. 
    Ditto. But make it 10lbs.

  • Prekids I was a C. I went to a D while pregnant, a DD while breastfeeding DS, back to a D when I stopped breastfeeding, and a DD by the end of my pregnancy with DD. I am still breastfeeding and still a DD. Pumping with DS made them so saggy. I miss my perky C's. I told DH that I want a lift and reduction back to a C when we are done having kids.

  • They are smaller, but I'm still no where near my pre-pregnancy size. I tried one of my old bras on and it was a no go. I look much flatter in the chest area with some bras, though, because they hang lower. :( I'll be rocking the supportive bras and bikini tops from here on out. 

    PS - My chest grew, like my rib cage. When I tried to get an old jacket buttoned it was a def no go around the ribs. What the hell?
  • It took me way longer to figure out what the beaver tail reference was all about. :\">

    You can't stop my boobs. They are changed but still totally huge. :(

  • My nips are ridiculous now though. I needed a nip shield at first... I have a feeling the next baby won't

    Mine, too. So much for inverted nips...

    This happens to everybody. Your ribs spread when you're pregnant. Try to imagine where the hell your organs that get squished up would go otherwise! You need the extra space so your lungs can inflate!
    Will they go back? Nothing fits.
    My rib cage didn't. :( So many cute dresses that I had to give away.

    My breasts on the other hand are pretty much the same as they were before my first baby. They weren't very big to begin with so I guess that helps prevent them from looking deflated. They get fuller /bigger when nursing, but not by too much. The only real difference is that my ribcage is bigger.

  • They are different. I miss my somewhat small average chest. I also would like them to be the same size through the day. And to predictably produce milk. (I know, it's a lot to ask of them, isn't it.) 

    But my old boobs probably couldn't silence a crying baby, so there's that.

  • They are big, but they are somehow still perky. The rest of my body is not so pretty.

  • Bigger, but softer, and about a half inch lower than they used to be. I have to wait until DS is weaned before I can assess the damage.
