Will breasts get smaller after weaning?

Breastfeeding women need to provide milk for their children, so their breasts will sag after breastfeeding. However, as the breasts sag, they will become larger because of milk engorgement. After breastfeeding, the child will be weaned and the milk in our breasts will be gone. Some people worry that the breasts will become smaller. So, will the breasts become smaller after weaning?

Will become smaller. 1. 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. But after giving birth, the mother's hormone level will decrease. If she does not breastfeed at this time, the contents of the breast will decrease, and the fat and breast tissue will decrease rapidly. The breasts that were originally stretched will naturally become loose, and the sagging will become serious.

2. It is very tiring for breastfeeding mothers to take care of their children. Their body energy consumption is relatively large, and the fat stored in the body is consumed a lot, so a lot of breast fat is lost. If mothers do not pay attention to breast care during breastfeeding, their breasts will shrink.

Treatment: 1. There are tips for breastfeeding: mothers should breastfeed regularly and rhythmically every day. The breastfeeding time should not be too long, and the nipple should not be used in only one direction. This is beneficial for the baby to suck nutritious milk and also helps the breasts maintain a good shape. At the same time, weaning should be a gradual process. Also, be careful not to let your baby hold the nipple to stop crying, fall asleep, suck without milk for too long, or suck low-concentration milk, which can easily cause breast sagging.

2. Choose the right bra: In order to avoid sagging breasts after childbirth, prevention should start during pregnancy. During pregnancy, you should choose a suitable bra as your breasts grow larger, otherwise the rapid growth of glandular tissue will cause sagging breasts. After weaning, you can choose a special postpartum bra.

3. Eat the right food: Don’t rush to diet to lose weight after giving birth. You can eat more fish and seafood, milk and dairy products, nuts, seeds and other foods. These foods have a good supporting and nourishing effect on the breasts.
