Many people worry that breastfeeding may affect the shape or size of their breasts, but research shows that breastfeeding does not have these negative effects.
Breast sagging after childbirth is a common concern. During pregnancy, breasts become fuller and heavier, which can stretch the ligaments that support them. This stretching is a primary cause of post-pregnancy breast sagging, regardless of whether or not you breastfeed. The more pregnancies you have, the more pronounced the sagging can become, especially in women with larger breasts.
Other factors that can contribute to breast sagging include aging and smoking (both of which reduce skin elasticity). Additionally, being overweight can also lead to sagging breasts.
Remember: Breast milk is the most ideal food for most babies. Do not refuse to breastfeed out of fear of breast sagging.
