Having a bit of a wobble about my boobs (not literally Smile, we are bf 9.5 months now, I'm back to work, ds loves his solids and bfs in the morning, evening and night time (occasionally during the night, but this is getting less). I used to always feel my let down, but don't really now. I used to find my boobs filled up if I missed a feed, but I don't now. They can go all night without feeding, and still feel empty in the morning. In fact, they always feel empty now, and I'm doubting my supply, and I think they've even gotten smaller!

Is this normal?? I always hear of bf mamas being larger than they usually are, but mine seem to be withering away, even though I'm still feeding- ds also has open access to boob at weekends too. I'd really love to hear from anyone who could put my mind at ease- do I have enough milk do u think, or am I fooling myself?!!

Yes mine are smallest they have ever been (ds 21 months). I noticed around 6 months I could lie on my front again if I'd just fed him, then around a year any sleep position was fine whether I had just fed or not.

Never feel let down anymore, never get full breasts feeling, not for ages. Definately still milk there as ds grabbed my nipple the other day and squirted big lot of milk in his eye.

Stranger - thank u!! I really was starting to think something was wrong!!! I know there's milk as I can hear ds guzzling (when he settles enough for a decent feed that is- too busy trying to walk!). But I can't quite believe just how lifeless they've become Confused!

Mine have shrunk 5 cup sizes and I'm delighted! DS is 2.2, so that all sounds normal to me.

Yes... And a bit sad and empty looking.

Ds2 is only seven months though so hoping they cheer up a bit...

Strangely I still measure up as an F cup but I certainly don't fill my bras like I did pre-pregnancy. Sad face.

mine went down - originally 34B to a huge 32 D when BF - now 32B/34A but with a bit of eating now filling out a 34b finally back !

Yes. Thrilled about it too! I breastfed for 7 months.

My reduced size is an H. Now you know why I'm so relieved! Grin
