    Question My Boobs keep growing eek!

    So my gorgeous boy is 7 weeks and exclusively bf - 8+ times per day - some big feeds and some little. I have HEAPS of milk and still have engorgement issues if he sleeps for too long. So the problem is in this last week I have grown out of all my bras! Pre preg I was a 12/14 b/c cup (depending on how much weight I was carrying) and went to a 14D - now am a 14 DD!!!! I thought they settled down after a few weeks/months of bf? I don't want to buy a heap of new bras if my bbs will shrink again??? Does anyone have any experience with this? All advice gratefully received

    My boobs never settled now while breastfeeding. I stopped breastfeeding over 10 months ago and they still haven't reduced in size. I'm still a 12E. Pre babies I was a D cup.

    My milk didn't settle in properly til DS was about 4 months old. Til then we couldn't skip feeds or I'd be engorged & sore.
    It is possible they will get bigger & not smaller after (unlike the rest of us!), but hopefully your milk will settle & you'll be a bit more comfortable.
