nursing moms

When did you notice a decrease in breast size? or did this not happen until the baby was weaned?
I am noticing a general weight loss all over except my chest! I'm fitting into smaller pants but not shirts... normal?
Thanks!

for me, I think i didn't notice a significant decrease until I had been working out for over 3 months hard. But, by that time my baby was already starting to wean himself.

I think that if you aren't trying to wean your baby, then you shouldn't worry about your chest size. Once you stop nursing, you will drop in your chest. You could still be loosing fat in that area, but your milk supply could be going up...so it could be making it seem like you aren't loosing in that area.

Since I started working out to now I have lost over 6 inches in my chest alone---of course when I started I was nursing and now am not!!

I'd say if you are loosing in every other part of your body, thats good!! Good luck, and I hope this helped!!

Mine are going down slightly. Maybe 1 cup size. My son is 7months so I'm still breastfeeding and giving him little bits of food. I've lost over 40 lbs but my boobs are still huge!

My husband just commented this weekend that I'm losing my boobs

I'm still nursing my 22 month old, and she eats solid foods as well, so not nursing as much. At the beginning of my weight loss it seemed like my breasts were staying large, and I was psyched. Now, after 40 pounds lost, they are definitely shrinking. I'm still wearing a C, but think I could probably go down to a B. I really loved the C cup that came with nursing...and I hope I don't go back down to the A cup I was at before my pregnancy. Eek!

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I hadn't considered that maybe I am producing more milk. My little one is eating some table foods but nurses pretty frequently still.

I just look at my old bras and think, "Wow these are SO tiny, I'll never wear them again!"
