Bra question

[bgmom]

Hi all! I was going to post this on another thread, but didn't want to jack it. I'll be completely done EPing on February 7, DD's 1st bday. SO.EXCITED! I'm only pumping twice/day right now because she's almost totally on WCM now, so really pumping hasn't been horrible lately.

ANYWAY...I am still wearing stupid nursing bras because I haven't had time to go real bra shopping and my pre-pregnancy bras are WAY too small in the cup. My nursing bras are a bit too big now too. For those who have completely weaned already, how much/how soon did your boobs decrease in size once the supply was dried up? I feel like my boobs are probably the size they'll be going forward, as they never get engorged anymore. I'm just wondering how long I should wait to hit up VS? Poor DH, he and I like cute bras on me, and I sadly never found a sexy nursing bra

TIA!

It took about 2 months for my boobs to shrink (one boob is now noticably smaller than the other). I would wait at least 2 months becuase you don't want to have to buy all new bras again.

I haven't weaned with this one, but with the other two I stopped at a year and change, like you, after gradually dropping feedings. My boobs didn't really shrink much at all! What if you treated yourself to one right after?

There was an ongoing discussion regarding this same issue in yesterday's randoms. Unfortunately, the answers seem to vary quite a bit. I'm in the "did not shrink at all" club. Some people said it happened fairly quickly, others said it took a few months. So maybe give it a month or two and then go get fitted? There just doesn't seem to be any consistent change/time.

I stopped nursing in August and I'm still waiting to shrink back down. Same exact size as I was then.

Ugh this is why I'm more of a lurker - I always miss conversations that pertain to something I'm wondering, and then I decide to post and find out I could've found it elsewhere Makes me seem like a careless board member.

Thanks all for your input! I decided to order a few last night so they'll be here right after I'm done pumping. I may go down in size, but with my nursing bras not fitting so well either, I figured what the heck! VS had free shipping and returns on bra orders, I thought that would be nice since I can't make it in to the actual store for a few months. Sexy bras in time for V-Day, now if I could just get my sex drive back too! Damn hormones.

Oh I didn't mean it that way! Just thought you might want to look there for some more info. The Randoms are loooong. It's impossible to always keep up with them.

I know I'm late to the conversation, but I stopped BF at 4mo, and stopped pumping altogether at 6mo. I'm the same size I have been. Oddly, I never increased size through pregnancy or nursing, so everything fit the same.

My first pregnancy, (which resulted in a loss if you can't see my tickers), I went up 3 cup sizes, and never went back down.
