Why do breasts become smaller after giving birth?

Many women who have given birth will find that their breasts become smaller after giving birth. Although not all women experience this situation, a large proportion of them do. So what happens when breasts become smaller after giving birth? Here I will share with you my views on the smaller breasts after giving birth based on my understanding of this aspect, and I hope it will be helpful to you.

After pregnancy, due to the influence of hormone levels, breast fat tissue and mammary gland tissue proliferate, making the breasts noticeably larger and the skin on the surface of the breasts also stretched. After giving birth, as the hormones in the body decrease, if you do not breastfeed at this time, the fat and breast tissue will decrease rapidly. As the breast contents decrease, the breast epidermis that had been stretched will naturally become loose, making the sagging more serious. It seems that there is a risk of breast sagging after giving birth, whether you breastfeed or not.

During the lactation period, women consume more energy and their stored fat is consumed more, and their body shape gradually becomes thinner, which is also a reason for breast shrinkage. So breastfeeding is not an inevitable factor that causes mothers' breasts to shrink. In fact, insisting on breastfeeding can prevent mothers' breasts from shrinking too quickly, thereby reducing the occurrence of sagging breasts. However, the appropriate breastfeeding period is generally 8-12 months. When feeding, you should prevent the baby from excessively pulling on the breasts.

Breastfeeding mothers must ensure nutrition, but don't go on a diet because you're worried about gaining weight, otherwise the fat in the breasts will also be consumed, and that would not be worth the effort. Some breastfeeding mothers are worried about getting pregnant again, so they become indifferent to sex. In the absence of sexual stimulation, their breasts may shrink. It seems that fathers are also responsible for the reduction in mothers' breast size.

The above content is some introduction to the problem of breast shrinkage after giving birth. It can be seen that many details need to be paid attention to after giving birth, especially in terms of breast care. So I hope everyone can pay more attention to their breasts, do more breast massages, and eat more foods containing collagen. Only in this way can we prevent the breasts from shrinking and sagging.
