Infant feeding

Okay, so they say that breastfeeding "ruins your boobs" but... proof that they get strong... or is it just mine?

I slipped two days ago while holding my car keys in my hands. The keys jammed into my boobs. And now they're bent, and I cannot use them.
So do I win the prize for the strongest boobs in the world?

Yes.

I have the ears of a small spaniel.

Actually, I slammed one of my tits in a car door once. In front of someone I really fancied. On my graduation day.

puberty ruined my boobs

and they've got longer with each pregnancy.

Actually, the answer is that I was pretty pneumatic at that age. My nipples were pretty much in their own time zone. (Nowadays, they are best friends with my belly button.)

Divastrop - DS1 actually looked at me only this morning, just before I put my bra on, and said 'why are your breasts so looong?' It's like a National Geographic photospread.

Well, I shall be serious for a moment.

I always had pert, strident breasts. 36C.

I breastfed for six weeks, and all the oooph went out of them ... never to return.

It's a small price to pay but my tits have certainly never been the same.

That said, was it breastfeeding or pregnancy that caused them to deflate?

My mother reckons that the answer is to always wear a bra, except when you're in the bath (ie, wear one in bed, etc). Mind you, if you're always wearing a bra, what's the point in having pert breasts anyway? It's all a bit too high maintenance for me.

desi-i bf my first for 6 weeks and have ff the other 4,i can therefore state that pregnancy ruins boobs(or makes them longer),in fact,i would go so far as to say ff is probably worse for boobs as they get strectched beyond capacity and dont deflate for weeks.then when they do,they are just saggy skin flaps(well,mine are).
