Bras after nursing

[bocaburger]

Hi all! I'm pretty much weaned at this point and realizing I will need to buy some new bras soon. How long after weaning did your boobs stop changing? How different was your bra size before/after nursing?

I actually went bra shopping a few days after ditching our last bedtime session and they still fit fine! We did a pretty slow wean, so I didn't notice much difference after weaning completely.

I will be following. After DD they stayed bigger then they originally were. Not sure what to expect after weaning DS, but nothing I have fits.

I'm also following!

I almost feel like I want to wear my nursing bras forever because they're so comfy..... 😳

WF isn't totally weaned, but I'm back in my pre-pregnancy VS underwire demi cups right now... and it's not so much the size that is the difference (although one side is basically still too big for the bra), it's the difference in firmness. I really think I need to find another option, but I'm afraid to try Third Love (which people seem to love) since it's so expensive and I'm not sure when things will truly settle down in terms of size.

tl;dr, following.

I am now small and saggy. It took me 2 weeks after weaning to get to this size and here I stay. I need to get measured as I am wearing I'll fitting things.

I've noticed the same thing with the firmness. I need filler coverage because the tips jiggle so much. Lol

Just got measured this morning! I'm probably 6-8 weeks post last BF session, but I weaned over the course of 6 weeks, so I was much smaller anyway.

My original size was 34C and, after the boys, I measured a 36B. That size wasn't right at all. I think I went about 4-6 weeks out. I ended up getting down to a 34C because I just sort of got smaller around as I lost a little weight. I was only 8 months PP when I stopped, so that may have had something to do with the later change. I just felt like I YoYo'd a lot- like I looked deflated first and then they got perky again (well, not like sorority girl perky, but I felt like they looked decent for a 30 something year old Mom). Then, I lost a little weight when the boys started walking (and, I stopped eating lunch because I was chasing them!), so I'm sure that didn't help things. Anyway, I think I should have waited longer.

I did BF twice as long with DD and I feel like I didn't really have fluctuations after the initial post BFing engorgement resolved. I was wearing nursing bras that just got bigger and bigger. I measured as a 34D this time around, which is crazy because I am so much smaller than I was two months ago! It's frightening. The sad thing is, it's not that I have these amazing boobs- it's that there's so much extra floppy stuff that just sort of gets crammed into a bra. Call it boobs, call it loose skin, whatever works. So, while I think I'm probably good on size, I won't go buying all new bras. I'll probably wait another month or so just to make sure I'm good.

I was a 36C and am now a 36A. My local store doesn't stock anything in that size so I continue to wear ill fitting bras.
