Boobs!

[SpringCrane]

Anyone 5-6 months into breastfeeding? I'm ordering a bridesmaid's dress soon that I'll be wearing 5.5 months postpartum, and as it's strapless, the chest measurement is important... Anyone know how their chest size at 5-6 months postpartum (BFing) is compared to pre-pregnancy or pregnancy size?

The bridal shop suggests ordering quite large and having it taken in, but the rest of my body is pretty much back to pre-pregnancy size... I'm just not sure where my boobs will be then! I have no recollection from my first.

I am almost 10 months into breastfeeding and my boobs are the same as they were in the first month of breastfeeding. I might be a weird case though, I don't know. It doesn't seem like anyone else I know that is still breastfeeding has a huge chest still like I do. I would definitely go large and have it taken in as needed. I weigh less than I did pre pregnancy, but there are some shirts that I still can't wear because of my chest.

I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 4 months and my boobs are still just as big as they were when my milk first came in. The only difference now is that my boobs are soft and feel like they did pre-baby, whereas in the beginning of breastfeeding they were very firm even if I wasn't engorged. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

7 months breastfeeding and my boobs are huge. I'm usually big anyway (HH) but currently wearing a J. Xx

My nursing bras are a 32g and I would normally wear a 32e, I don't think they are going to shrink now till I've finished feeding

I was probably only a cup size up from normal at that stage.mime are normally huge anyway but start going back to normal fairly quickly even with nursing

Mine were certainly still huge at that stage, but have been much smaller for a long time now!

Mine didn't get smaller until after I was done nursing
