Moms: You can't blame the droop on breastfeeding

Even as you, a new mother, revel in the joy of your newborn, you might be watching with the despair the southern migration of your breasts. It's no secret that motherhood changes your body in some irreversible ways. But when University of Kentucky plastic surgeons interviewed over 100 women in their late 30s who were interested in breast augmentation surgery, they found that breastfeeding wasn't a major factor in changing breast shape.

Instead, researchers say that smoking, age, a larger pre-pregnancy cup size, and the number of pregnancies had more to do with loss of elasticity than did breastfeeding. So you can still blame any sagging on your babies, just don't let it stop you from breastfeeding them.
