Stopped bf 11 days ago. Can anyone give me some idea when your breasts return to their normal size? I intend to get myself fitted for new bras and wondered when would be the right time. Do boobs return to your pre-pregnancy size automatically? BF for 9 and half months by the way, just in case that matters.

I got new bras shortly after finishing bfing dd which were okay for quite some months. Then they seemed to change shape and size all over again, so had to go and get more (SUCH a nuisance ). They stayed like that til I got pregnant with ds some 3 years later.

I think it partly depends on how quickly you stopped feeding. I'd been giving dd just 1 feed a day for quite some months so my breasts were already almost their old size (though saggier ).
Within about 2 weeks of stopping completely they got to the size they've stayed ever since which is slightly smaller than they used to be (I never thought that would be possible ) and less 'perky.' But I'm basically in the same size bra as I used to wear. Do you have some left from pre-pregnancy time? If they fit, why not use them for a while until you've settled size completely?
