Does breastfeeding make your breasts sag?

📢 BREASTFEEDING DOES NOT MAKE YOUR BREASTS SAG📢

This is a flat-out myth and we need to stop telling mothers that breastfeeding will sag their breasts. This myth alone has stopped many many mothers from breastfeeding out of the sheer fear of having saggy breasts.

So what makes your breasts sag?

📢WHETHER YOU BREASTFEED OR NOT, PREGNANCY ALONE COULD MAKE YOUR BREASTS SAG📢

➖Ligaments, called Cooper’s ligaments, support your breasts. These ligaments are made up of elastin and collagen and it breaks down as you age, causing sag. When you are pregnant, your breasts become fuller and heavier, and continue to do so as the pregnancy progresses. It makes the ligaments stretch and eventually makes your breasts sag. The change will be more noticeable if you have fuller breasts. Multiple pregnancies too can result in a dramatic change in your bust. Not to mention that during pregnancy our bodies release the hormone Relaxin that keeps ligaments loose to accommodate pregnancy. Those ligaments holding your breasts become looser thus sagging the breasts. Did I mention that high-impact exercises cause more sagging? Wear a good supportive sports bra during these activities!

How to help prevent saggy breasts after pregnancy:
✅wear a supportive sports bra that gives good support to your breasts and make sure you are wearing the right size
✅eat healthy
✅get some exercise(especially chest exercises to strengthen the ligaments in breasts)
✅moisturize your breasts
✅lose weight slowly

Breastfeeding is hard enough, and we need to be encouraging mothers and babies instead of spreading false information.
