Breasts after breastfeeding

Sorry if this isn’t the right place, this is my first thread!

Hi all, my little one is 15 months now! I exclusively breastfed him for 9 months, so it’s been a while... However, over the past few weeks my breasts have been achy and have noticeably changed shape- they are flatter on top and much more deflated. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m hoping the pain is because my bras don’t fit this new shape… hoping it’s another one of those things we aren’t warned about 😅

Yes to the change of shape as you describe. It takes a few months for the breastfeeding tissue to dissipate so they do change for a bit. With the soreness maybe hormones / pg?

Thank you so much for your reply! I thought it was a bit late to be having these changes since I stopped breastfeeding nine months ago? Still unsure about the soreness. Definitely not pregnant!

I don't know re the time frame. Maybe go get them checked?
