Answer 1

Breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast cancer, which is one thing you want to keep in mind if you're really that thrilled with your rack.

"Lactation and a Reduced Risk of Premenopausal Breast Cancer.
With an increasing cumulative duration of lactation, there was a decreasing risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women (P for trend <0.001) but not among postmenopausal, parous women (P for trend = 0.51). A younger age at first lactation was significantly associated with a reduction in the risk of premenopausal breast cancer (P for trend = 0.003)...
There is a reduction in the risk of breast cancer among premenopausal women who have lactated."

Answer 2

They will get saggy either way.
There is faty tissue inside of the unused breast, the one that has never lactated before. As soon as the milk ducts are used, the fatty tissue disappears, and the breast is a smaller organ than it was, leaving the skin strecthed out compared to the size of the insides.
Remember, we have no exact science for knowing just what is in the milk- what new discoveries may there be? That the proportion of the nutrients is more important than the nutrients?
That the immunities are srengthened not jsut in the first two weeks but a little bit more for three months, or years?
That the child's brain and hormone levels are better when held to be breastfed than by bottle?
You see, children who are sick get better when held, especially the preemies that are laid up in the hospital.
So you never know what exactly they're missing if you don't do what nature intended...
That concern beats out the shape of your body any day!

Gravity will work whether you breastfeed or not. It really depends on the person. Whether you breastfeed or not, your breasts are going to sag as you age anyway.

I have been pregnant 3 times. All times I never breastfed and my boobs don't look the greatest because whether or not you breastfeed, your milk still comes in and your breasts enlarge usually quite a bit, and being that big, then going back down will cause some changes to your breasts. The good thing about breastfeeding too is that most of the time your belly will go down a lot quicker and easier because the effect of nipple stimulation causes certain chemicals to go to the uterus and contracts it which then causes it to become smaller easier than if you formula feed.

So in conclusion, your boobs will still have the same effect whether you breastfeed or not. Don't let vanity step in before the health of your child. I chose not to breastfeed, not for vanity reasons though.

Answer 4

anythings possible. everyone is different.

i breastfeed, and i know that if its been to long inbetween feedings or if my husband gives our son a bottle at night so i can get some sleep, i my breast get very very full and painful. sometimes almost rock hard. then i start leaking every where until i feed my son and he gets some of them ilk out of me.

also my milk came in 2 days after he was born andi was still in the hospital due to a c-section and my left breast became engorged since we had a little bit of latch on problems. let me tell you, you dont want that. it hurts a lot.

just be prepared for them to be painful, full and maybe engorged. make sure you have breast pads, since even though you arnt breastfeeding, your milk will still come in.

Answer 5

Every ones body is different. The only way to know is breast feed and find out or do not breast feed and find out......

Answer 6

there is always a chance~ but theres a chance whether you breast feed or not, breasts sag from being engorged & heavy which happens during pregnancy & after birth even if you dont breastfeed. they usually recommend getting a comfy bra & wear it 24 hrs a day to help prevent sagging

Answer 7

Your breasts will still get full of breastmilk when the baby is born - your body won't know that you don't plan to breastfeed. They may be full and sore for a few days, but will soon go back to their normal size.

Answer 8

Yes, typically your breasts do change no matter what.

If you are thinking of not breastfeeding to keep your breasts the same, that's a silly reason.

Answer 9

youre breast will get saggy if its in your genetics or if you gain lots of weight during pregnancy and then lose it

Answer 10

your breast remains at ease when you dont breast feed a baby but pity your baby she wont the nutrients that only mother can give
