What are your boobs like post-breastfeeding?
I’m four months into breastfeeding and hoping to do so for a few more months. During pregnancy and this whole lactation thing, my boobs just ballooned up in size. Went from a C cup to I don’t even want to know. I haven’t bought a new bra yet (living in soft nursing bras) so no clue how many cups I’ve gone up. But I’m struggling with my new chest and clothing sizes.
Where dresses fit perfectly below, I cannot squeeze my new boobs into many of my tops and dresses. It’s made me feel really rubbish, having to buy new clothes at least two sizes up. I’ve obviously gained some weight with pregnancy in general, but the chest is the issue. I’m not one of those women who is pleased tk have a bigger chest. I’ve always preferred having a smaller and more manageable chest. The new boobs really bother me.
I was wondering if you lost some weight, especially around your bust, after stopping with breastfeeding? Just want to know if it’s worth buying tons of clothes a few sizes up and kind of… accepting this new chest, or if there’s a hope that they might shrink again.

I don't have any advice but I can resonate. I was a 12G prior to pregnancy and I've gone up 2 cup sizes. I weigh less than I did before pregnancy and my bust hasn't gone down all. I'm still wearing my maternity clothing because my clothes don't fit around my bust either
I breastfed for 3 years with my youngest and my breasts didn’t really go down when I stopped 😅 xx
My boobs went back to the size they were before breast feeding once I had finnished feeding and lost all the baby weight id gained I normally wear a 32f bra with breastfeeding I’m wearing a 34f nursing bra iv lost all my baby weight plus some this time, being bigger chested i wear an 8-10 on bottom an 12/14 on top dresses never fit me nicely unless I get a skater type dress or one that’s floaty
Unfortunately my boobs went back to their original size but I’m a size A. I was probably to a b cup while breastfeeding
My right boob went back to pre-pg size. My left boob didn't... not to alarm you or anything. It's impossible to find anything that fits!
Mine have gone up 2 sizes and stayed that way but I have just had another baby and my eldest is 15 months x
I went from a B to a high C but post breastfeeding I am back to my before size with a bit of sagging but I oddly find it super sexy on me. I know everyone is different and some women keep their new cup sizes so I wouldn’t go buying new clothes just yet. I made that mistake and unfortunately have a lot of clothes I can no longer fit
Mine went up a cup size and now they are saggy and deflated and I'm probably now a cup size smaller than I originally was 😭 I breastfed for 8/9 months my little one is now almost a year x
When the milk goes away, the boobs go down. They look NOTHING like prepregancy boobs and need different support to be shaped and look good. At 26 I feel like I have the boobs of a 96 year old 😂
I wouldn’t invest in a new wardrobe until your milk is dried up. Because you will have yet another new body shape to contend with
