Vain (sorry) question to women who have breastfed

[thatsgood]

Im just wondering what to expect breast wise post weaning. I have been ebf for 8 weeks. Feeling sad at thinking how my boobs will look at the end of this, though appreciate the amazing thing my body has done for my baby. Will my breasts resemble what they look like once the LO has emptied them of milk after a long feeding session? Or even more empty? They look quite empty and a bit saggy after a big feed. I was a 32a/30b pre pregnancy and a 32c now for reference. It's been so nice actually having boobs for once and I'll feel sad to say goodbye to them! Just wondering what to expect really. Thank you!

I fed my first for 2 years and I'm currently 18 months into feeding my second. My boobs are essentially saggy sacks and my nipples have increased so far beyond their boundary that I have had to apply for retrospective planning permission.

I don't think there is any hope for me.

I bet they look nicer than you think! May I ask - how is it that they look deflated whilst breastfeeding? I thought the "deflation" happened post weaning

I was an A cup before pregnancies. Breastfed my youngest for over 4 years. I'm a B now, no sagging. My boobs still look good and I'm in my fifties now, I much prefer my breast post breastfeeding.

Mine went back to normal. Can't tell any difference pre and post breastfeeding. Mine are quite small though.

Congrats!At what point did they settle into their new size? During BF or post weaning?

Mine didn't go back to normal, though they improved slightly from emptiness the shape and was not the same and they are lower down, and other threads have said similar, this thread is the most positive I've ever seen. I did breastfeed for just over two years with my last baby and was in my later 30s then so age might have played a part.

Menopause/peri menopause appears to be restoring them back to their original size, and beyond I'm afraid.

I found this happened towards the end of breastfeeding, when the number of feeds were naturally reduced

I think the areolas darken and nipples can change in size with each pregnancy. I dont think this goes back to pre pregnancy.

Probably after my second child, he was BF for 11 months, I had a large age gap between 1st and 2nd child, couldn't breastfeed my first and I think I went back to an A cup then. Almost 3 years between second and third child and I was in B cup then...
