Will the breasts become smaller after postpartum breastfeeding?
Mother's breasts will not shrink immediately after delivery, even if there is no breastfeeding plan, they will even become larger because of the natural phenomenon of the body. "No matter how much or how little, the postpartum breast will naturally secrete milk, and the milk will be full, so it will be mistaken for larger. Dr. Liang Simi explained. So the reason for the enlargement is usually temporary (inflation). As for how big? It is closely related to milk secretion.

Temporary breast enhancement

Even if you choose to suck the baby's milk immediately after delivery, the baby usually can't drink a lot of milk at this time, and the milk will be secreted alternately until the lactation effect is enhanced and the secretion of each breast lobule increases. Dr. Liang Ximi said: "There will be abundant colostrum on the second to third day after delivery; Colostrum is generally thin, so we should pay attention to its nutritional value. The real baby should be able to drink enough, especially the thick milk in the later period, with higher protein content. 」

During lactation, the breasts expand rapidly and become firm. Regular breastfeeding, the breast will be regularly filled and emptied, and then filled and emptied. The richer the milk secretion, the more obvious the change of breast size will be. So someone laughed and said, "Use E cup when raising milk and B cup when withdrawing milk." If you don't breastfeed or stop breastfeeding after delivery, you must face the problem of withdrawing milk. As a result of slimming milk after delivery, the size of breast will inevitably change. Dr. Liang Ximi said: "If you lose weight completely after delivery and return to your original pre-pregnancy weight, theoretically your breasts will return to their original size, and they will not become bigger or smaller. 」

Gradually withdrawing milk will not affect the cup.

Dr. Liang Ximi further explained, "Breast is composed of mammary gland, fibrous tissue and fat. Theoretically, fat is the only reason for getting bigger and smaller. Westerners are generally plump, because fat accounts for more than 50%, while oriental breasts and fibrous tissue account for more than half. Lose weight and fat after delivery, and your breasts will become smaller. 」

Bigger people, then, there is indeed a phenomenon that mothers' breasts become bigger or smaller after delivery in outpatient clinics. How to explain this?

Dr. Liang Ximi said: "This is an interesting phenomenon. At present, there is no exact medical statement, and there is an absolute correlation between the changes of breast size before and after delivery. But there is a saying that people with larger breasts are more likely to shrink after childbirth; Those with smaller breasts are more likely to upgrade their postpartum cups. 」

"For mothers whose cups will be slightly upgraded, apart from congratulations, it may be interpreted as" the breasts have become bigger because of the stimulation of pregnancy, and the breasts have developed again ". Dr. Liang Simi said with a smile.

As for the mother with breast hypoesthesia, Dr. Liang Ximi thinks it should be caused by postpartum breast aging and sagging. In general, the following two situations have the highest probability:

1. The more weight you gain during pregnancy, the bigger your breasts will be. If this kind of mother is older, her recovery ability will be worse and her skin elasticity will be worse. Once she loses weight completely after childbirth, the probability of sagging will increase and her appearance will naturally become smaller.

2. Postpartum slimming is a person who loses weight quickly in a short time; If the over-inflated chest also shrinks rapidly, it is easy to cause skin relaxation, and aging and sagging are inevitable. In short, slow and planned postpartum slimming, plus moderate behavior? Massage your breasts and do exercises, so you won't let your breasts go up and down like a roller coaster.
