DOES YOUR BODY CHANGE AND HOW DOES IT CHANGE WHEN YOU BEAST FEED OR FIRST BEGIN TO LACTATE?

Your breasts will be enlarged cause they will fill with milk. You will probably leak for the first few months so wear nursing pads! Nursing is a great bonding time for mother and baby. It also helps your uterus to contract itself back down to pre-baby size quicker. You should make an appointment with a LACTATION CONSULTANT, they are usually quite helpful. Don't get discouraged if you run into any problems like sore nipples,sore breasts,latching on problems,etc. Breast is best!

Same as Kat said...but also it changes your hormones which regulate so many other parts of your body. Like your metabolism can either speed up or slow down, and it affects your uterus causing it to contract and shrink, and it makes your vaginal secretions dry up...to name a few.

Breasts get bigger, harder for the first few days, you leak everywhere, your breast feel heavy, your nipples can get sore from the constant sucking, and YOU LEAK EVERYWHERE!!!
