Will the breasts become smaller after feeding?
1. Breast droop During pregnancy, pregnant mothers gain weight quickly, and with nutritional supplements, breasts will be larger. If it is an elderly woman, her skin elasticity is even worse because of her poor physical recovery ability. In this way, the breasts are more prone to sagging and naturally appear small in appearance.
2. After improper breastfeeding, some mothers can't wait to lose weight. If you lose weight quickly in a short time instead of step by step, it is easy to make the over-expanded breasts contract quickly.
3. Hormone secretion affects pregnancy, and various hormones in the new mother will begin to decline. Pituitary prolactin began to secrete, which made the new mother start lactation and prepare for breastfeeding. Prolactin secreted by pituitary gland will inhibit ovarian function, or lead to the slow recovery of ovarian function, which will lead to the decrease of female hormone secretion and breast atrophy.
4. Insufficient nutrition intake. In fact, new mothers have a high demand for nutrition during breastfeeding. If you don't get enough nutrition during this time, your body will independently extract fat from your breasts to use. So that the new mother's breasts look much smaller after feeding.
How to protect breasts during lactation
