    mine only went down about half a cup size and have stayed that way since then. I was a C before and now I'm a D - DD - post breastfeeding boobs rock!

    I guess it depends on how much you were feeding before you weaned completely - I was down to only one or two short feeds a day, and mine had already deflated from full breastfeeding boobs to pathetic looking has-beens (lol!) so by the time DD#2 actually weaned - they didnt actually change!
    Hope that makes sense!

    Yeah, mine never really went away either, I was huge for ages between about 3months - 18months, then the went down a cup or 2. (Depending on brand)
    Oh, hang on, when I finished feeding I was pregnant, but she was only having one feed a day. Not sure if it counts lol But they haven't gotten any bigger at all this time around feeding DD2, which I think is odd. And they didn't get any smaller or bigger when DD1 finished feeding.

    I will refrain.......

    Mine got smaller when i stopped feeding, about a cup size. But i had ample (too much) to start with!

    Mine didn't get any smaller after I finished feeding but that might be because I kept up a healthy intake of cheese and chocolate.

    Mine shot up from an A cup to a E when breastfeeding my twins and ds3 they usually go back down to a D -DD no complaints from me or hubby? But I do wonder if I will loose more after this last pg as I want to shed my baby weight ( 7kg was still hanging on after last of)

    I was a full B cup then went up in pregnancy with DS to a full D.... after 2 years of breastfeeding, they quickly deflated to a odd looking B... not full, like they are 'used' lol

    Im still waiting for them to perk up and get bigger this pregnancy.... they are a little bigger but nothing fantastic yet... bring on the big milk boobies for me ...lol

    Unfortunately, yes they got smaller. Fortunately, they still stayed bigger than had been prior to DD1. Unfortunately they are saggier.......

    Hmm - sorry more cons than pros there, I was hoping for something better

    I reckon the thing to watch out for is your ar$e getting bigger

    I could eat whatever I wanted while breastfeeding - my metabolism was awesome, unfortunately I forgot to 'stop' eating when I stop feeding - hence the ar$e problem tehehehehee

    Went from a DD/E to a G, then back to a DD.
    Went from DD to I, then back to D.
    Went from D to G, currently an E, but I'm still breastfeeding ...

    I can't wear pushup bras, they have to be fullcup. I get a skin muffin top otherwise - no fat, just skin. One day I'll pop off to the cosmetic surgeon to the stars and get a reduction to a nice C cup.

    hmm well I have been breastfeeding or pregnant for the last almost 9 years now I think. I was told that the longer/slower you wean the more your breasts get a chance to fill in with more breast tissue. But I have been a D to DD cup since beginning my BFing journey all those years ago. But Haven't had a chance to see what will be come of them yet LOL. I was a small 12 b before kids.

    eta - On to my 5th child & I must say, I am impressed with my breasts LOL they are holding up well.

    We weaned very gradually so I didn't notice a huge difference after I stopped feeding DS. They are still the same size now as they were the day of our last feed.

    I was a B before and throughout pregnancy, was a D while BF and I'm now a full C. I think the weight shifted from my boobs and turned into love handles after DS weaned, definitely miss being able to eat whatever I liked without consequence !
