Do your boobs shrink when you breastfeed?

Question

I'm a 36G will my boobs go smaller if I breastfeed?

Answer 1

Like others say, your boobs will not shrink "when" your breastfeeding... But if you nurse for a significant amount of time- at least 6 months, and you are not a lot heavier than you were before your pregnancy, you will most likely lose at least one cup size.

Answer 2

Your boobs will remain quite plump whilst you are still breastfeeding your baby. It is when you stop that problems sometimes occur. I have known women whose post-breastfeeding boobs have actually 'shrunken', like you said, but this did not happen to me, however, the length of time I breastfed for was pretty limited. The other women I know who have had this problem breastfed for much longer than I did.

Answer 3

Mine became bigger when my milk came in, as I discontinued nursing, they started to shrink back to their pre-pregnancy state. Breast reduction is a bad idea if you want to breastfeed, however.

Answer 4

Breast actually enlarge while breastfeeding. When you wean your baby off the milk, your breast will probably shrink back to their size before the pregancy or maybe smaller.

Answer 5

Wait until you wean your baby in the normal course, and then see if there is a change in the size. Breast size during breastfeeding is larger than on other times.

Answer 6

No. The more you breastfeed, the more milk you produce. Which in turn will make them bigger. I suggest surgical breast reduction.

Answer 7

No, they will just sag alot... it sucks..

Answer 8

i heard they actually get bigger
