If your breasts were smaller after weaning...

Anonymous
...did they stay that way? And how long until you were dried up?

I am 2 weeks out from weaning my two-year-old after basically 4 consecutive years of nursing and am elated that my chest has shrunk down even smaller than before getting pregnant. I’ve always hated being a D/DD cup and I am super excited about my new C’s even though they’re much lower than before lol. I’m still leaking a bit so I wonder if they might even continue to get a bit smaller.

Those of you who experienced this, was it permanent or temporary?

Sadly no. But I also got very skinny when I was nursing. I’ve been done for about 5 years and they are back to D almost DD and DDD in swimsuits. They are less perky, but not flat pancakes by any means.

yes, they stayed that way (until i got pregnant again). for the record, i wasn't happy with it -- my boobs were pretty small to begin with, and then they got smaller.

it took a looooong time for me to dry up. i took sudafed to help it along, on the advice of my LC.

Yes mine were very small to start and now not only smaller, but still droopy. How this is even possible is beyond me.

I went from a solid B cup pre-pregnancy to an A after weaning my youngest (well, AA if I were really honest with myself and ever bought the correct size). That was 9 years ago and they never got bigger again. Sadly.

I weaned a year ago after 4+ years of either nursing or being pregnant. Was D cup before pregnancy and got larger while pregnant/nursing then got smaller not long after weaning and went down to a C for awhile but now I’m back to my ore pregnancy size.

Pre-kids I was a 30E. After weaning DD1 (and going up to an I cup while nursing) I was a "golf ball in a tube sock" for about a year and boy did I enjoy those carefree days of normal bras and shelf bras! I started creeping back to my pre-kid size right before getting pregnant. I'm not post nursing DD2 and in the tube sock phase and I'm hoping it lasts!
