Breast size post weaning

Pre pregnancy I was a pretty flat 30b. During pregnancy very little changed...34b (mostly just band size). When my milk came in they ballooned (for me!) and looked like very small ds or large cs. 6 weeks later size has settled and I can fit into my 34b bra but spilling out a little. It's stupid and vain but I feel feminine and nice after being flat chested my whole life. I actually prefer my post parfum body! I just want to know what to expect post weaning? I am not hopeful but it would be nice if they stayed the size they were once LO "empties" the breast. Im 10kg heavier than I was (lost 11kg already) if that helps. Hoping to lose that but honestly would stay at that weight (76kg - 5ft7) if it meant keeping a more womanly shape. I know this is very silly and vain so apologies!

Mine went down to pre-baby size when I stopped feeding and became a bit 'droopy' due to all the engorging/emptying cycles. They went down more as I lost weight too. However I do have friends who ended up with bigger boobs post baby than they had before. It does happen.

My post weaning boobs are just about a cup bigger than pre pregnancy BUT they are more like flaps of skin, like deflated balloons hanging off me. I scoop up my skin to fill a C (B pre-pregnancy).

BTW, don't apologise. I get it. I really miss my breastfeeding boobs. I just felt like I fitted clothes better.

Thank you, I know they are meant to feed my little girl and I'm so proud to see her gain weight etc from just me but can't help thinking oh god these are going to look awful once I wean. I was pretty flat chested to start off with so it's been nice feeling like a woman. And it doesn't help that my partner seems to prefer my shape now!
