Its pregnancy that changes your boobs not breastfeeding.

I have 2 kids already and I beast fed both of them for a year. My breast had gone from a 40c to 34B and they sagged. Now I'm pregnant again and plan on BF this one for a year as well. Smh I'm convinced that I'll be in an Acup when all is said and done.

when I was pregnant with my daughter my boobs went from an A to a full B.
I didn't breastfeed at ALL and they shrunk to just as small as before, but with less 'mass' I guess. Still a handful, but more or less just skin :S
When my milk came in, it looked like I had DD fake boobs. It was awesome. But they hurt, so bad. lol.

Whether you breastfeed or not, your boobs will probably shrink once your milk production stops. It is pregnancy that causes your boobs to grow, in preparation for feeding baby, but whether you use them or not, you don't get to keep them.

See it seem like the ladies who already had big boobs didn't mind losing a size but what about the ppl like me who was at the beginning of all adult bras lmao

No stretch marks, but I lost a cup size once nursing was said and done with. Really enjoying my bust right now, but I know this too shall pass.

Yes, they absolutely changed shapes.  Not really for the better.  Ugh.  Do some light weights for chest exercises.  it helps.  In the end, it is worth it.  But it does change you a bit.  good luck

I agree with the above. Pregnancy gave me the stretch marks not the nursing.  Nursing kept them larger for longer though!  I welcomed the bigger boobs as a bonus for the time i was nursing.

Pregnancy effected mine, not the breastfeeding.  I got stretch marks before breastfeeding,  but they are very light. My husband doesn't notice them but I do. This was with my first pregnancy.  I'm on baby number 2 now. I also have stretch marks on my butt. But not on my belly. This too was with my first pregnancy.  But again, they are very light. Can't notice them except for myself cause I know they are there.

Pregnancy affected my breasts a lot more than breast feeding did. My bust is quite big and I found they drooped a bit after. Pregnancy increased my bust size from my normal 30GG to 36HH, im quite short (5'2) so my rib cage crazily expanded. While they went back to normal size after baby they did droop a bit. Nothing a good under wire bra can't fix though.
