My breast have gotten smaller, but I'm still a 34 DDD. Jr. is almost 14 months and is being weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699793 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:06:52 +0000 sarac 699793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nursing at 19 months less, but still lots. And they have shrunk in recent months. They'll go down as your child nurses less and less, amount wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699557 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:09:02 +0000 prettylizy 699557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: I've just noticed in the past few weeks, so between 12-13months. She is weaning though so I'm sure that has something to do with it. Soooo sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699527 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:58:31 +0000 Freckles 699527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost a lot of weight, so i think that also contributed to my smaller boobs. They started shrinking around the 9 month mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699465 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:41:57 +0000 rachiecakes 699465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS weaned at 11 months, he's 16 months old now and I'm still up a cup size (though they definitely have more sag than ever). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699446 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:36:26 +0000 mrskc 699446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! They start shrinking as LO gets older?! I just want them to stay this big the whole time he nurses. I love them and I don't want pancake boobies just yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699393 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:26:31 +0000 mrsjazz 699393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss my big boobies :( Pre-pregnancy I was a 36B. I went up to a 38D and I feel like they went back to normal around 9 months. I can fit my old bras again. It was a gradual shrinkage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-699368 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:22:01 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 699368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: @prettylizy: when did they start shrinking for you? Was it closer to a year? I am much smaller than I was when he was 0-6 months, but still not back to normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-698920 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:06:50 +0000 prettylizy 698920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 13 months, and self weaning, we're down to once a day maybe and my boobs are nowhere near as big as they were. They didn't grow a ton when I got PG, but now seem smaller than before. And sadder, so much sadder! lol! I call them sad sacks :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-698916 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 11:05:31 +0000 Freckles 698916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nursing at almost a year, and my boobs have shrunk quite a bit!! :( I miss my big boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breast-shrinkage-during-extended-nursing-vs-after-weaning#post-698873 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 10:52:51 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 698873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 7.5 months into nursing and my breasts are still, in my view, entirely too massive. I see pictures of my self pre-preg and although I have always been large up top (34-36 D depending on the size), they are huge now....still! I am debating on weaning starting at 1 year and I hate to admit I would do it partially so that my chest is not so large. Just am tired of looking so heavy up top! I've lost all but about 2 lbs of the pregnancy weight and I feel like the last two lbs are distributed in my chest and new belly flab ha!</p> <p>So did your breasts shrink once you weaned? Anyone have any luck on breast shrinkage while also extended BF? </p> <p>FYI, he nurses 4-6 times a day at 7 mos. </p>
