I have breastfed two children and mine are fine... actually better than some women who have had no children at all! Don't worry about what your breasts will look like... God put them there to feed babies!

It all depends on a number of factors, including genetics, how big they are, gravity, etc. They might, or they might not. And it's not the breastfeeding that makes them sag (if they do), it's the milk that comes in, which it does no matter if you breastfeed or not. Also, ageing contributes to it since skin loses it's elasticity through the years. Best advice I can give is that you should always wear the right size bra, and make sure it's very supportive. And when you're pregnant (and breastfeeding, if you do), wear a bra at night too.
For myself, my breasts sagged a little bit after I weaned my son, but they're not that bad. I just always make sure to put a bra on right when I wake up so I'm not bouncing around and breaking down the connective tissues that help hold breasts up.

I breastfed my toddler for a twelve months and sure my breast are not the comparable. on a similar time as your breast feeding the are great and swollen (no longer painful) yet later on they do no longer seem to be as plump. yet while my menstrual is coming near they are swollen. No i'm no longer able to pass wearing a t-blouse without bra yet i became right into a organic 38D till now my toddler now i'm a 40DD/E. although, your new visual charm could desire to in no way provide up you from breastfeeding there are such various reward for you and toddler as you listed. Your breast is going to alter whether you do no longer breastfeed. positioned on a maternity supportive bra in the time of being pregnant and on a similar time as breast feeding. they help no longer cut back off milk furnish and are designed to get rid of a few sagging. The sagging comes from gravity and the burden of your new watermelons. they are gonna sag some day permit or no longer this is for a stable reason. have self assurance me i'm continuously wearing low cut back blouse and no one says "Wow she could desire to of breastfeed because of the fact she sags." Its all in the bra! i could opt for to function that for the 1st couple of weeks your breast would be sore while your milk is offered in, additionally your nipples would be mushy. Use loads of lanolin, your Dr. can prescribe, and wait. many females provide up by way of soreness, yet your nipple will start to make stronger up. So carry close in there!

NO. Pregnancy hormones and changes that *lead* to lactation are responsible for that, not the act of breastfeeding itself. If you get pregnant, your pregnancy hormones tell your mammary glands to start preparing for lactation. They develop throughout your pregnancy, and whether you breastfeed or not, once your baby is born, they kick it into high gear and start producing milk. Whether or not they continue making milk for an arbitrary amount of time doesn't matter in the least.
After breastfeeding all six of my babies, for 11+ years total, mine still pass the pencil test. They're a little lower than where they started, for sure, but not "ruined", by any stretch of the imagination...
Edit: LOL, looks like someone's jealous, giving all the ones who said they *didn't* get droopy breasts a thumbs-down... Like we have any control over it! Amusing...

Pregnancy alone will make your boobs sag! They expand while you are pregnant, then 'deflate' afterwards...so don't think it's all breastfeedings fault! :) Also, the 'flapjack' syndrome is totally dependant on the size and elasticity of your breasts to begin with. Some women are born with more resilient skin than others. And, as one woman put it, while you are breastfeeding, your boobs are glorious! Full, firm, and ripe. Enjoy it while it lasts!

lol.. definately no it won't breastfeeding helps the uterus come bak to normal size. Mothers who don't breastfeed have the risk of having saggy breast. so its best to breastfeed ur child.

yeah certainly but who cares as long as the baby is getting whats best for it.
being pregnant alone will cause you to have flap jacks you cant stop it even if you dont breastfeed they will never be the same again.
try to wear very suportive tight fit bras. goodluck

No - it's pregnancy that causes the sagging, not breastfeeding.
