Bra size after bf'ing

[linz]

When you stopped BF'ing did your bra size go back down? Or is it still bigger then prepregnancy.

[dcn]

Mine sadly went down to smaller than pre pg

[motzie]

Pre pregnancy size, just more sad. All my old bras fit though.

[redpenmama]

Remained up a cup size from pre-pregnancy after weaning (but I got pregnant 4 months after weaning, so I don't know if they had "time" to go down before the hormones started surging again).

[smock]

Here's a related question: where did I pack all my pre-pregnancy bras, back in my first trimester when my boobs got huge? We moved since then, and I can't find them anywhere.

Okay, maybe that's not so much a question as a vent, lol.

I was almost a full A before pregnant, a full A while nursing and now that I've nursed and weaned 3 kids, it's a AAA. So sad.

ditto!

edit to mention that I think one is smaller than the other now. but not noticeable when wearing a bra. I also had no change while pregnant (didn't leak or anything while preg either). They only grew in size when I was lactating after his birth.

My boobs went back to their regular size after nursing both times. (6 months of BFing DS1 and 4 months of BFing DS2)

I was a 34DD/DDD before and a 34H while nursing. I still nurse DD (2.5) but only before bed and on the weekends before nap. So not that often. I'm now a 34G. I don't know if I'll ever go back to just being a DD again but we'll see.

I went down a cup size after he weaned. I am now a sad 32B since you all wanted to know.

[zeewifeandmama]

I'm just about a month past weaning DS ( after having nursed his sister until preg with him) and I'd say they are relatively the same as PP, just far less perky and dense.

Mine got smaller and then went back to the pre-preg size and shape.

OMG that has me laughing so hard at work because that's literally how it's been described to me.

omg. I just died. and I agree. 

[elocrates]

They went back down, and then even smaller.
32C pre-pregnancy, now barely a 32A. Blah. After DS2 they were particularly saggy. However, after DS3 weaned they are not really saggy anymore, just super small.

[cinco]

Another smaller. Smaller than an A, but bright side too small to sag. I usually just wear padded sports bras.

Mine went back to pre-pg, around 36A or 38AA. DH was so sad, since while pregnant and bfing I was up to like a 38D. With my second pregnancy, they've gotten big again, and DH is already not looking forward to them getting smaller again whenever I wean.

[doctorsbaby]

Mine stayed bigger but are much sadder looking. I was barely a 34B before and am now a full 34D.

[laurenh]

I went from a DD to a B/sometimes A lol.

Related question - how long after weaning did you wait to buy new bras? None of my old bras fit but I can't decide if I should go ahead and get fit for new ones now or wait a while longer.

Yeah I was going to say Rocks in Tube Socks but you beat me to it. I can agree with a tennis ball.

Mine never got smaller.

I was a 34DD before pg, then a 34G-H while nursing and now a year later I'm still a 34G.

Nooooooo! That isn't what I want to hear.

[pierogigirl]

Mine stayed bigger, but they're pretty awful and saggy too.

Side bar - any recs? My sports bras are too big post baby too. Fun.

I like the C9 ones from Target. They are cheap, don't chafe, and I obviously don't need a ton of support

So post this thread I found strapless bras in an old box and the 34DD strapless bras fit.

And so does my 34G bra.

SO BRA SIZING IS A SHAM.

Yeah I wear DDs & Gs post nursing. I don't think mine changed much before, during & after nursing. I nursed 3 kids over 4 yrs, so quite a while.
