Does breastfeeding cause sagging breasts?

Nowadays, many young women choose to be DINKs and not have children because they are afraid that their figure will be out of shape and their breasts will sag after giving birth. In fact, we can restore the breast curve and figure through reasonable exercise and diet control. As long as we choose scientific and reasonable maintenance methods and maintain them properly, we can let our figure and breasts regain a second development period and become more plump and beautiful.

The head nurse of obstetrics and gynecology said that proper care and maintenance during pregnancy and breastfeeding may make your breasts become fuller as if they have a second stage of development. In fact, sagging breasts are related to increased hormones after pregnancy, gravity, and loose skin with aging, and are not caused by breastfeeding. On the contrary, correct breastfeeding can promote the secretion of oxytocin in the mother and enhance the elasticity of breast ligaments. It can also prevent the breasts from shrinking too quickly and reduce the accumulation of subcutaneous fat, promote the mother's metabolism and enable her to restore her body shape as soon as possible after delivery.

Wearing a bra during breastfeeding is also an important means to maintain your figure. Some people say that wearing a bra will hinder the secretion of milk. In fact, this is a very wrong statement. To ensure normal milk secretion, you must start breastfeeding early, empty the breasts in time, breastfeed on demand, and have a balanced diet. Some mothers believe that babies may need breastfeeding at any time and anywhere, and nipples are easily contaminated. For the sake of their babies and their own health, mothers should clean their breasts frequently.

In fact, the main reason for sagging breasts during lactation is that many expectant mothers do not pay attention to recovery and maintenance after delivery. Because expectant mothers are more concerned about the growth of their children, they do not consider postpartum breast care. In fact, postpartum breast care is crucial for body recovery. After proper care, the breasts can become fuller and firmer.
