i dont know about smaller. They are definately not as high as they used to be and im only 20, but I have had 2 kids since I was 18. and I went from a nice very nice 34 c to a SUPER HUGE 36DD. But I breast fed both kids and my mom did the same thing. Everytime she had a kid she gained another cup size. But I think that it varies from woman as stated earlier. but it would even if none of us had kids right? Every womans body is diffrent.

Mine did, but I cant say whether the changes were from pregnancy or breastfeeding.

the changes occur due to pregnancy, regardless of whether you choose to breastfeed or not. even if a women never nurses her baby, her breasts will change permanently due to breastfeeding.



how they change and to what degree really varies from woman to woman.

I'm not sure because I've been breastfeeding for 4.5 years! AHHH! I'm almost done as my daughter is 2 now and starting to wean herself. I'm curious if my breasts will ever be perky again..probably not lol

Well for me they actually got a cup size smaller which made me super happy except that they aren't as perky as they used to be.

apparently some people reckon they get smaller or a little saggier but thats normally from pregnancy not breastfeeding. mine are still the same before i had kids and iv breastfed both, my son is almost one and still feeding and they havent changed so i dont think so. but gaining weight in pregnancy does cause them to change a little. if you are worried about it, dont be, its natural for mums bodies to change and its just a tribute to your little ones!
