does breast feeding cause saggy breast? about after how many babies does the breast start sagging?

Answer 1

Its not just breastfeeding. Its being pregnant alone. Because during your pregnancy your breasts grow which stretches the skin and if you are prone to them sagging,(meaning hereditary) then it wont matter if you breastfeed your baby or not. It will happen with jsut the first baby. It doesnt happen to all and shouldnt discourage anyone from breastfeeding.

Answer 2

After reading the posts, there are some lucky women out there. Maybe it depends on breast size and condition before breastfeeding. I am large breasted (36DD) and my breasts were nice but not as firm as we all hope for. After I breast fed my son for 10 months they are like empty pastry bags. Yes they sag a bit, but they just overall feel different. When I talk to my girlfriends they have all had the same thing. Pretty much my husband and I have a deal that when I lose the rest of the baby weight I am going to have them fixed. I have no idea what it will involve, but I am going to find out.

All that said however, don't let it be a deciding factor, being forwarned there may be exercises you can do or something, and it is a great bonding experience with your baby. Plus it is best for them.

Good Luck!

I breast fed my son and didn't have any problem with saggy breast. It took a little while to go back to normal. He's the only one I breast fed, though, so I'm not sure after how many this happens. My daughter was in the hospital for her first month because she was premature, so I didn't get to breast feed her.

It mostly depends on genetics, and the shape of your breasts prior to breastfeeding. For me, it didn't cause sagging, but once my milk was dried up I had a smaller cup size than before I got pregnant. My best friend breastfed all 4 of her kids and still has a perky b cup, but my mother only breastfed my older sister and blames the sagging on her....

Answer 5

Yes it causes saggy breast but the way to avoid this is lifting weights. Get a Dennise Austin video, one that specializes on uppper body. It worked very well for me. But I have to tell you though, they won't be the same size after you're done breastfeeding, mostlikely, they'll be smaller

Sorry

Answer 6

No, It doesn't. After my first child i didn't breastfeed and they sagged a little but with the second i breastfed and they sagged a little more. My sister has five kids and did not breastfeed and she has no breast tissue left it's just skin. It's all in genetics though.

Answer 7

I breast fed for 6 weeks and after my breasts dried up they werent saggy, I cant say they were the same as before but they arent that bad, but i am guessing that it depends on the size of your breasts also and your skins elasticity.

Answer 8

Yes it does and all it takes is the first one to start the sagging process. The main thing is they appear to look very saggy because while you are breastfeeding they are so full of milk, they look really big, but when your milk dries up, it appears that your breast are really saggy compared to what they looked like when they were full of milk.

Answer 9

After feeding two, those puppies sag. I know that admitting this factoid will gain me instantaneous admission to the mommy wall of shame, but hey, the truth hurts. Honestly, you notice a vague difference in the "girls" after you have fed one for longer than 4 months, but it's not dramatic until that second one. Mine look like deflated airbags. Thank God for wonder bras.

Answer 10

No, sagging breasts are not caused by breastfeeding. It is caused by the changes that happen during pregnancy and the initial post-partum engorgement that all mothers go through. That, and genetics.
