| Apparently it's pregnancy that makes your boobs sag, not breastfeeding  ...so there's no difference whether you breastfeed or not, but if you're feeding from one side for each feed you can expect to look a bit uneven for the first couple of months x | | | | Status: Offline

| Mine were fine first time round. I think if you already have big boobs its especially important to keep them well supported when they are heavier than usual with milk.
I have some amazing underwired nursing bras that are very supportive - you cant wear them for the first 12 weeks though until youre established. | | | | Status: Offline

Maybe after the next one At least I don't have one that's twice as big as the other like I did when I first started feeding Sam | | | | Status: Offline
