Why do breasts become smaller after breastfeeding?

Many women will experience problems such as sagging breasts after breastfeeding, which seriously affects their health and image. Some women even experience smaller breasts, which confuses many women. So why do breasts become smaller after breastfeeding? Let's ask an expert to introduce this issue to us.

1. The more weight a woman gains during pregnancy, the larger her breasts will become. If the mother is older, her recovery ability will be poorer and her skin elasticity will be worse. Once she loses weight completely after giving birth, the chance of sagging will increase, and her breasts will naturally become smaller in appearance.

2. Postpartum slimming is for those who want to lose weight quickly in a short period of time; if the over-inflated breasts shrink quickly, it is easy to cause skin relaxation, aging and sagging. In short, slow and planned postpartum weight loss, coupled with moderate breast massage and exercise, will prevent your breasts from fluctuating like a roller coaster.

Pregnancy is the second stage of breast development? It is hard to believe for those who have not experienced it personally. Even if you have given birth to a child, improper care can make your breasts small and shriveled.

When I was preparing for pregnancy, my mother told me that breasts are made up of rich glands. The mammary glands are made up of 15-25 lobules, which are embedded in fibrous tissue and fat. Fat makes the breasts protrude, and the breast tissue is supported by ligaments from the chest wall to the skin. From the moment the fertilized egg implants, along with the changes in hormones in the body, the breasts also respond accordingly, such as increased mammary tissue and increased fat reserves. This is a function that nature has given to humans, and its role is to adapt to the needs of breastfeeding after childbirth. However, this period is similar to the development of secondary sexual characteristics in girlhood. Therefore, for women, pregnancy is actually a great time to enlarge and beautify the breasts and let the breasts develop again.
