Yes, but you will lose it if you don't feed, too.
Nature gives all mothers the opportunity to feed their baby, and all will get the engorgement of milk. With the engorgement, an increase in breast size and tissue will leave them saggier.
If you choose to not breast feed, you will go through the painful drying-up stage, but they will never be the same. Then mother nature will give your body a "second chance" and the milk will come back a few weeks later. Another engorgement.
All women will experience some change over time, but a woman who has become a mother will find a more significant change - whether she breast-fed or not.

No, but from pregnancy you will. Your breasts get larger throughout pg, and in the final days and weeks, you may start producing milk before the baby is born. For the first couple of days all you produce is colostrum, a yellow coloured, nutrient rich milk type substance. Around the third day your milk "comes in", I woke up to find my breasts very hard, very hot and leaking.
Even if you don't plan on bfing, you may need to express, or drain off some of the milk, just so you are comfortable. So it is not the feeding that changes breast shape, it is the whole of the pregnancy.

It didnt effect mine. Although with pregnancy and breastfeeding they change shape and size all the time. After about 6 months of nursing my breasts returned to their normal size/shape. I continued nursing but my milk calmed down by then so I lost my Pamela Anderson boobies:( Ive breastfed two children for a total of just under 5 years and my breasts are the same as they were when they first sprouted. But my Mum on the other hand had a dramatic change in breast size/shape. Before kids her breasts were able to fit in a champagne glass. Thats how tiny they were. After kids they stayed large. After 3 kids and putting on weight/losing weight/gaining weight they now sag badly. Breasts are gonna sag eventually regardless of pregnancy or breastfeeding, its all a matter of time!!

No, breastfeeding or not doesn't effect your breasts as much as pregnancy itself. During pregnancy, your breasts will swell and shrink so many times that most women lose some elasticity. Breastfeeding does not increase this, but many women report that their breasts are fuller and more attractive while nursing than before pregnancy. I know mine were :P

i did not breast feed my son.
Before i got pregnant with him my breasts were very perky and was a lovely 34dd.
When my son got to 4months old my breasts totally went and im now a 30b and they are saggy and horrible.
Im now pregnant again which has perked them up a little but this time i am going to breast feed using a breast pump.
What im trying to say is that even if you choose to breast feed or not they will still sag and there is nothing you can do to stop it or to make them look any better.
I have tried every exercise possible to perk them back and nothing worked.
So your just going to have to get used to it.

I have one child that is 10 years old so it's been awhile. I had perky breast until my pregnancy. I didn't breast feed but my breast now pointed south after delivery. My ob/gyn told me it is natural and nature tries to assist with breast feeding. Made sense to me. I wouldn't want to hold my baby out in front of me to feed them. You cradle them in your arms which is lower then the breasts so our breasts try to accommodate. Hope that help some.

Not really. They get bigger while breastfeeding and can seem to sag more after, but your breast change as you get older or gain and lose weight so they don't change enough to justify not breast feeding.

It depends. Some women do tend to lose their breasts some after breast feeding. Not actually during the period while you still are, but after breast feeding is completely done with. (I think, anyways.)

quite often a womens figure will be inhanced by breast feeding. Her breasts will be larger and fuller. This can sometimes continue even after the baby stops feeding

They will be bigger than normal whilst breastfeeding, but usually go back to there normal size when you no longer breastfeed.
Breast feeding is suppose to be one of the best ways for mum to get her figur back too after birth.
