Hi,not sure if this is the right place to post but just curious about boobs after breastfeeding. Before d.s born i was 34b, didn't bf d.s but increased to 36c, now after birth of d.d who i am b.f boobs are 40d! but they have lost their shape and just look like huge balloons, i have a small frame so not a great look! Do boobs go back to old size after b.f or will they remain this big or will they shrink to floppy spaniel ears!? Cheers.

I think you need to go somewhere decent to get fitted (not M&S - John Lewis are good ime).

Unless you've put on several stones in weight, I can't see how your band size can have increased by so much.

I thought I was a 34D for years and years, then could't seem to find anything to fit (thought I was just a weird shape, plus my weight fluctuated a bit so I put it down to that). Turns out I'm a 32G and am wearing brilliantly-fitting bras for the first time since I don't know when.

Can't comment on the spaniel's eras effect as mine are too big to be called that, but they're definitely not as pert as they were.

You say you have a small frame so i'd guess they look like huge balloons because your band size is too big(not supporting) and your cup size is too small (gives a funny shape).

Good luck with the fitting!

Sorry I'm a 30G not 32G.

Mine were perky 32C's prior to kids.

Got up to 32D while feeding but pretty quickly after stoping bf'ing they deflated to about a 32B and looked so empty and the top half was really flat on my chest. Fast forward 3.5 years and they have improved some, defo not as empty so some 'fat' has come back I think.

I have spaniels ears, flat at the top and very droopy. Weight gain, followed by weight loss after the babies contributed to that though, rather than just breastfeeding.

Was 36D before children, went up to a 40F, am now a 32DD, but lots of empty skin. Hate hate hate them. Need surgery. They look okay in a decent bra though.
