How long after weaning did your boob size stabilize?

watercolor5 · January 2015

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't remember answers... I weaned Julia a few weeks ago, but I have no idea when my boob size will be done changing. I'm only fitting into one or two of my pre-baby bras, and don't know if I should buy non-nursing bras in the bigger size, or give it another couple weeks. How long after weaning did your boobs go back to their new normal? How much bigger (or smaller) did your boobs get from their pre-baby size?

I don't remember how long it took to happen, but mine returned returned to the old size if not a tiny bit smaller

but they were saggy and different. I just wore my underwire nursing bras during the transition, even thought they were a tad too big.

When I got fitted for bras after a year of BFing L, the lady told me 3 months. So she measured me and I wore my nursing bras for a couple weeks more. Sure enough when I went back I had changed. I would give it a few more weeks. I also advocate for getting a proper fitting (not VS), you may be surprised.

By the time I weanedim not even sure I was producing very much. I weaned slowly, I think probably a month for me to be confident things weren't changing

About three months. I morphed back into pre nursing size. Just in a way more depressing form.

I agree with the 3 month rule and also with proper fitting.

I never wanted to believe people when they told me the boob changes aren't fully realized until after you're done nursing the second child, but alas, it happened to me. *in denial that my age could have anything to do with it*

@FlamingEmu Where do you go to get a proper fitting? I've only ever had it done at VS or motherhood maternity haha. Do you go to a specialty lingerie store or something?

In my area we have a lot of boutiques that specialize in fittings and selling to larger sizes. If you don't have anything like that even Nordstrams or a nicer department store can help.

The people at VS are just really good guessers. They will hand you the same size in every bra when we all know that each model fits differently. When I walked out of my boutique I only had 3 bras in hand, but each of them was a different size.

Just remember, you don't have to purchase where you et fitted if it is too expensive. But boobs are something we should take care of!
