When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

I had a large chest before i was ever pg (36DD/DDD) and then PP ive been wearing a 38G and some days a 38F. They are just ridiculous at this point, but i need to buy some new bras and not nursing bras for a change.

I plan to stop BFing in about a month and a half (DS will be 6 months) its becoming very stressful at work and keeping up supply, so i want to know if i buy bras that fit now willl they still fit when i stop nursing .

I was hoping I would be just a 36DD (DDD when i have AF?) again

added question:

So what bras do you wear now to hold them up and keep them looking decent in shirts (not saggy) something with support but lift!!?? any reccomendations?

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink?

After I finished BFing DS, I actually ended up bigger than I was before I had him. I went from a 36B to a 36C. (although the perky-ness of them was definitely missing )

I would imagine that it might be different with everyone. I am still BFing DD right now, so it will be several more months before I find out what my ultimate end result will be.

OMG i hear you on the perkiness. I have already told DH after DC #2 whenever that will be I am getting a lift (reduce)!!!

Im not looking forward to bathing suits this summer as it is with the loose bottom tummy from my the pg but the saggy boobs will not help!!!

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink?

I went up 1 cup size during pregnancy and another during BFing. As DS nursed less and less, I definitely went down in size. I'm still nursing in the morning, but I don't get engorged. I'm not sure if I'll go down to my pre-pregnancy size once I completely stop BFing. Right now, I'm 1 cup size up from pre-pregnancy.

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink?

Mine were perky Bs. Went to Perky Cs during pregnancy. Went to pornstar Ds while nursing.

They did the same with pregnancy/bith #2, although they started out as semi-perky Cs.

Now, they are kinda flap-jackish but are most definitley Cs when I roll them up into a bra.

Pregnancy and BFing has made me a national Geographic cover.

OMG you are scaring me. I think I'm going to continue BFing DS till he is in collage so I never have to see what happens when I stop

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

I didn't BF and they *still* shrank!

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

honestly i get my bras at lane bryant and they are the best!!!! you my boob issue and these are actually sexy supportive bras. they're about $30-40 each tho but last a long time.

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

Mine got bigger and 15months later they are still huge!!!

Before pregnancy I was a full 36D....then went up to 38F but today I am still a 36F!! during pregnancy I was fine until my milk came in....OMG they got so huge!

Now that I lost all the baby weight all you can see is my boobs! I have an appointment with a breast reducation surgeon next month to dicuss my options..

ETA: I get my bras at Saks! they have the BEST selection for full breasted women...I do spent $100 on each bra but well worth it!

Mine didn't actually get much bigger - I feel like I went from 36-38 around, but the cup stayed C - though a slightly fuller C (when I tried a D it was so floppy and uncomfortable.)
After I stopped breastfeeding, I did go back to the 36.

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

Mine were rather large and perky.

They became sagging and deflated. I was officially the same size but a total different look... and not in a good way.

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

I had small boobs, but they were at least full at some point. Now, I feel like someone popped them and they deflated.

I put on a bra and there's room

I went down a size. So depressing

I didn't BF and they didn't shrink at all. Still big. Just not as perky.

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

Mine went back to the same size that they were before I was BF.

However, I now have to bend over and pick them up off the floor when getting dressed

Re: When you stop BFing will your boobs shrink? added question (bras)

I was a perky c pre-pregnancy. Now I am a droopy D. I bought a few bras but the one that looks the best is probably the Walcoal although I can't say its the most comfortable bra
