HOW TO KEEP BREAST FULL AND PERKY

Question for the moms who breast fed their baby. How do I keep my breast plump and juicy after breastfeeding. I naturally have big breast that sit up because I keep them put up. Is their a method to the madness? If I go a year max two breast feeding what will they look like after 😩

Can we drop pictures. I need to see…

Lol they will drop 🤣 it’s hard for us mummy’s to maintain our sexiness without doing surgery, but if you don’t breast feed you keep your breast perky

but I want to do both 😩

with my first I bottle fed her my breast got so big they looked like implants then deflated when the milk dried up they went from firm and perky to soft and mushy it to 7 years for my breast to fill back out and that was once I gained weight. So I am scared. 😩

I don’t think it’s possible without surgery x

Breastfeeding does not affect your boobs... Pregnancy affects your boobs.

There is no keeping them full and perky. I’ve breastfed all 3 of my children, and still nursing my 2 yr old at nights. It’s a part of life my love. Only help is through surgery. If you choose not to nurse they will remain full and perky

Like you said just having your milk come in and dry up changed your breasts, breastfeeding doesn't make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. And even if we never had kids, gravity and age catch up with us all one day 😂

I believe genetics play a role in this. I know women who breast fed. Some remained larger and others went back to their original shape and size after breastfeeding. Just like some women get stretch marks during pregnancy while others don’t. You may or may not get lucky lol.

Good genetics or a good surgeon.

Age and pregnancy have unavoidable effects on our boobs, I went from perky Cs to huge Es then back to semi saggy Ds. Like most things in life, the perkiness is fleeting x

I have to agree with everyone. Pre babies I have perky Es, then ballooned to frankly ridiculous melons and post 2 kids I've got saggy Gs. I'm planning on getting a lift to pull everything back in place now I'm done with kids - I don't think that you can do anything else. It's really luck of the draw

I breastfed my son for 3 years and my boobs look the same as they did during pregnancy, just a little less full. They're still nice 😉 definitely my nipples changed during pregnancy and they're slightly less perky but I thought I would need a breast lift and so far I don't think so. My mom said it gets worse with each baby though so we'll see. I will say I have a healthy diet and I use medicinal oils on my skin like rose hip, castor, hemp and black seed oil.

Miss my size C cup before kids. Now its 40DD and after 3 kids its not nice anymore. Not dropping pics. Its sad looking onions that will make you cry. Don't know how to fix my orangutan boobs 😭

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
