DOES BREASTFEEDING DEFORM MY BREASTS?

As a result of the weight gain during pregnancy and the filling of your breasts with milk after birth, your breasts will grow.

The weight gain during pregnancy and the subsequent engorgement of your breasts with milk after birth will cause your breasts to enlarge. If your breasts are smaller than desired, this is a welcome development. Once you stop breastfeeding, your breasts will return to their pre-pregnancy size. Whether or not they return to their pre-pregnancy shape depends on your genetic makeup. Whether or not your breasts return to their original shape is not related to the duration or amount of breastfeeding. While many mothers complain that their breasts are not as firm and firm after breastfeeding, the same is true for many women.
