help needed for post breastfeeding bust!

Since stopping breastfeeding, I seem to have got left with two, droopy little sacks, hangimg forlornly down round my waist. Has anyone got any recommendations for good cleavage-enhancing, push-up bras?
I dont have access to M&S so need some fairly wellknown brands that I might be able to get hold of.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

Art, there is a great catalogue and website called Figleaves. They have loads of different brands and always have offers and sales on.

Art, don't depair too much. I felt a bit the same but after a while the fatty tissue in the breast is replaced ( up to 2 years seemingly). I certainly have pretty OK boobs now and that was after breast feeding 4 babies.

I think as well you get used to having milk producing breasts that they actually seem smaller than they are when you stop.

You have given me help Mears, mine are like wrung out dishcloths ! What about the loose skin around the tummy does that ever go back to normal ?

Sorry Tillysmummy - that fills up with fat as well

I found that as well, when the tummy was all baggy you could just tuck it into your trousers etc but after a while it just sort of plumped out and tucking it in was no longer an option. As for the boobs that was scary, they went from a 38B through a whole variety of sizes and seem to have settled at a 34F. I have lost inches from round my back due to exercise but it doesn't seem to make much difference to the boobs which seem to have done a good job at filling up the empty spaces with fat!

Allders and Debenhams do a lovely liquid filled bra that claims to increase your bust by one whole cup size! I can't remember the make but it is known as 'liquid filled' and comes in white, black and a gorgeous gold all with matching thongs! They cost £19 for the bras.

Oh, can endorse the fluid filled ones as well! But ASDA do them for about £12 - £15. It's true that they do seem to fill out, a bit, later. I nearly cried when I looked at myself in the mirror after the last feed - it was a boy staring back at me. I was never a big lass but they're not sooooo bad now. Plus, I think you're waist (or rather, my waist) may be thicker which makes them appear less than they were before.

Thanks everyone - you cheered me up no end! Tillysmummy LOL. Yes tummy is a on the baggy side too. People say to me "You're so slim you got you're figure back straight away." What I dont tell them is that Ive had to fold my tummy up and tuck it in.
I must admit this trend of hipster trousers and short tops with your belly button showing is completely out for me!
