BF - how much will my boobs change size?

BlueMoon33 · 07/07/2018 21:30

My baby is 9 weeks old and EBF. I’ve been passed on so many nursing bras from friends and I really want to de clutter loads that don’t fit. My boobs have been much the same size since my milk properly came in, but wondering if I’m in for bigger boobs in the future, are they going to change size, before I de clutter the larger bras off to the charity shop?

Mine went from a respectable C cup to, at their biggest double FF. Now pregnant with DC3 and after stabilising on double DD they are getting bigger again.

Mine went up one cup size and have stayed like that since I finished feeding.

Mine went up two cup sizes and have gone back just one since finishing BiscuitBiscuitGrin

After 9 weeks they probably won't get bigger, but otherwise all bets are off.

I’ve got about 30 different nursing bras that are all a bit too big at the moment, I wear my favourite 4 bras in circulation, so I guess I’m wondering if I were to get rid of these other bras could I suddenly get bigger in a month or so and regret getting rid?

Mine went from a to dd but that happened as soon as my milk came in so I don’t think yours will get any bigger now

Mine didn’t change at all. I think at 9 weeks your supply is established and you’re unlikely to have further changes.

QueenAravisOfArchenland · 09/07/2018 09:29

They won't get bigger. You're usually at your biggest in the first few weeks after your milk comes in. Once you start weaning/dropping feeds they may get smaller or may stay the same. Mine largely went back to pre-preg size by the time I was down to 1 feed a day, but then I got upduffed again and they're now bigger than when I was BFing DC1.

Mine have never changed size. Same old DD I’ve always been. But I think at 9 weeks, you’re only likely to go up in size if you gain weight just like you always would.

BlueMoon33 · 09/07/2018 18:24

Brilliant, I’m glad to hear that as I’m happy at the size I am, that’s enough!

I go up one cup size thats it

arbrighton · 09/07/2018 18:44

Mine didn't get any bigger really after my milk came in, having increased 3 sizes during pregnancy as it was.
They're now nominally still that size at 1year of BF but rather sad looking

Went from a C to a G with ds1. Then to a B when I stopped.

With dc2 went from B to double GG and now stayed at a DD.

silkpyjamasallday · 09/07/2018 18:57

Mine went from a C/D all the way to a GG in the first few weeks, they settled at about an E cup for the majority of the 21 months I breastfed dd. They have gone back to the size they were before, just lower down my chest Grin

MilkRunningOutAgain · 09/07/2018 19:25

Mine went up a cup size every pregnancy, so 3 cup sizes in total. My youngest is now 11 and no decrease seen, I am still a DD. Was a B before kids. They got enormous, could not find a bra to fit, for a few weeks after my milk came in.
