I have heard that when you are done breastfeeding your baby your breast will be smaller than what they were before. (before you were pregnant or nursing)

God no !!!!I have breastfed 4 boys for 2yrs each and they are still perfectly fine 34DD's they got a little bigger with the 1st baby EE's but they don't vary much from your genetic size.If you have A's when you get preg you will prob have B's while the baby is nursing full out but they will not shrink to below the size they were before you got preg!If anything they will probably lean toward the B size after because of the changes in tissue and hormones.Point...nursing does not make your breasts saggy gravity takes care of that all by itself!HAHA!!

No. They CAN sag a little more afterwards, but good support usually prevents this (but not always.) When I got pregnant with my first, I wore a 34 A. Three babies (and 5 years of combined nursing) later, I wear a 36 B/C depending on the brand. I know that all women are different, but I think the idea of having small, saggy breasts after weaning is mostly a myth perpetrated by the formula companies lol.
Don't let such an insignificant thing as breast size stop you from doing what's best for your baby!

Well I'm more of a realist than many of the women who will harp on to you about the advantages of breast feeding. Yes we all know that breast feeding is good for mom and baby but it's very wrong that a mom should be made to feel guilty for not doing it. I breast fed my first baby for 6 weeks until she had to be admitted to hospital with whooping cough. Because of the circumstances surrounding this it was impossible to continue. My breasts went up a cup size and stayed that way after I stopped. My second child wouldn't feed from me and because I also had a 9 month old at the time I didn't think it was fair on either of my babies to perservere longer than the 2 days that I managed. My breasts again went up a cup size and stayed that size. This time I intend to try nursing again as I enjoy it but I won't be beating myself up about it if it doesn't work out. The most important thing is that your baby has a full tummy and is contented.

No, my breasts are bigger now then they were before I had children. The people you talked to may have felt that way because when your breasts are full they look huge and after you let your milk dry up they are normal-which for some people could be a let down. Some women end up losing weight and being smaller than they were pre-baby which will make their breasts smaller whether they breast feed or not.

Like someone else already answered, each of us has a different body type. I am basically the same breast size, but now I sag. I was a regular A that went to gorged C both times. I am now a B only because I am wider in shape, not because my actual breast is bigger. I have to find a small B cup.
And for the kicker (although it is not so uncommon)...I ended up being lopsided.

I loved breastfeeding my daughter. I went from a 34 B to a 38D. Unfortunately they have lost a lot of firmness, I barely have cleavage, and one's a whole cup size bigger than the other. I am now a 34C. I would never do anything different tho. She was born at 32 weeks, and the doc said my breast milk was what kept her healthy and the reason she was able to go home 3 wks later.
Id do it all again.
Good luck.

no. When the baby is done a feed your breasts are small until they fill again. But when you wean your baby, your breasts are a little bigger. Mine went up a little bit in size. But they do lose their shape and are more saggy. I wore a bra night and day from 3 months pregnant till she was weaned and I still sag, but not as bad as some women

If you had small breasts to begin with they MAY be a little larger but I for one, didn't lose size after I was finished breast feeding either of my daughters.
Best of Luck!

I have one child and did not breast feed. Most women I know that have breastfed have ended up with very saggy breasts or very small saggy breasts. Don't base your breast feeding decision on superficial things. I chose not to breastfeed because I was a young mom who worked a lot. My breasts look almost the same as they did pre baby.
