Are my breasts gone forever?

I breastfed DD2 for a year, and stopped 7 months ago. My breasts seem to have vanished! It's not even a deflated balloon kind of look, they're just not there! (Quite small chested normally). Are they not meant to fill back up with fatty tissue or something?

I BF DD1 the same amount of time and I am sure they had gone back to semi-normal by now.

Will they ever come back?

Are you on different hormonal contraception this time? Before I got pregnant I was on the combined pill, then during BF I went on the mini pill. Once I finished BF I stayed on the mini pill and my boobs were much smaller than before when I was on the combined.

Oh that's a good point, I was on the pill before, now on a copper coil, so it might be the lack of hormones. Urgh, as if my body hadn't changed enough in other ways already :(

Yeah, the combined pill slightly (but noticeably in my case) increases breast size so without it you'll be back to your "natural" size.
