Breastfeeding

Sorry, but your wife putting her body-image before the well-being of your child doesn’t bode well for the future!

Breastfeeding doesn’t effect the look of your breasts, the milk coming in does and that can’t be stopped. The day after having the baby she’s going to go up at least 1 cup size (I went up 2)

Breastfeeding DOES help mom lose the baby weight faster.

Good for you for being so proactive! we need more guys like you. Her ******* are going to sag no matter what, whether she breastfeeds or not. My ******* don’t look any different than they did before breastfeeding two girls, except they just increased in size. Honestly i think it’s a shame that shes more concerned over her looks than providing her baby the best thing possible that the baby can have.

she shouldn’t be worried about ANYTHING.

Well, to be honest, it isn’t really the breastfeeding itself that does the damage. Whether she chooses to do it or not, nature will still mean that her ******* will swell during pregnancy and then fill right out with milk after the birth, unavoidably stretching them out a little. So if the damage has already been done, it isn’t going to make it any worse for her to breastfeed.
My advice? She should be pleased that her ******* are going to grow – a lot of women permanently gain a bra size or two from a pregnancy, and a good percent of women are thrilled with that prospect, not to mention their partners, lol. If she is worried about sagging, then the best thing she can do is wear well-fitting bras for support. Suggest she can go out shopping to buy some good quality ones to help protect her ‘assets’, lol. Some women prefer to wear their bras to bed as well during this time – 24 hour support.

First of all, pregnancy is a sacrifice and she needs to realize that. If she doesn’t want to do what’s best for the baby NOW before it’s even BORN because SHE doesn’t want HER ***** looking bad, then motherhood isn’t going to be pleasant. Raising children is a sacrifice and that’s all there is to it. Breastfeeding is a BEAUTIFUL act. It creates bonding in ways that go down to the soul. You’re right with saying there are SO many benefits.
If she’s really THAT concerned about her ******* then tell her that she could always get Mastoplexy (a ****** lift) or tell her to invest in a good push up. I guarantee you there are worse things than having saggy *****. Tell her that what if she didnt’ breastfeed and it caused the child to get very sick becuase he/she didn’t get all of the antibodies it would otherwise have gotten if she did breastfeed? Are her ******* worth her child’s health? I **** hearing women get upset about a little saggage… Pregnancy is pretty much a wreck to a woman’s body and her body will never be the same, but that’s what you do when you have children…that’s the way it supposed to be…things are NEVER the same in good and bad ways.
She should seriously re-consider having children if she’s putting her own LOOKS ahead of a child’s health.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Oh my…welllllll, as far as I know, as long as you wear a supportive bra all the time, you shouldn’t have any saggy problems. A lot of mommys I know still have a nice shaped chest…AND they’re going to look amazing while she’s still ****** feeding!
Maybe this isn’t her only problem… are there possibly other reasons she doesn’t want to ****** feed?
…what’s her work schedule like–or going to be like? What does she do for a living?
A friend of mine is a waitress and she had to give up ****** feeding because she leaked at work…I imagine anyone who is in the public eye would feel the same.
Ultimately, the choice is hers…explain that she doesn’t have to ****** feed full time–she could choose to bottle feed also…but you’re doing all you can do.
Good luck daddy!

well from EXPERIENCE that’s gonna happen no matter what. Her ******* are gonna fill up with milk anyway and they are gonna be like that for a few days, then they sag. If you ****** feed they won’t sag until your done ****** feeding. They are gonna sag no matter what. Sorry to say but your wife sounds like a very selfish person!

That is so selfish… I ****** fed my daughter for 2 yrs and my ****** still are nice and plump.. to make matters worse.. mine are large and they don’t sag—so sagging is not imminent.

It’s actually pregnancy that will cause ******* to change, not breastfeeding. In all reality, breastfeeding could help her ******* return to her pre-pregnancy state after she’s weaned vs. not breastfeeding.

“Breast involution is a process where the milk-making system inside the ****** shrinks because it’s not needed anymore. This happens either after weaning, or right after pregnancy if you don’t breastfeed at all, or during menopause. When the tissues inside ****** shrink, and the skin surrounding it doesn’t, the ****** can look ‘empty’ and saggy. Over time, some fat gets deposited back to the ****** so it will look somewhat fuller but sagging usually remains”

from this site:

“Here’s what you may hear: “Breastfeeding makes your ******* sag.” Unfortunately, ******* sag all by themselves as you age. Whether you breastfeed or not makes no difference — even women who never get pregnant must eventually face the reality of sagging.”

“Breastfeeding often gets blamed for the sagging of *******. Actually, it is pregnancy and not nursing that affects the shape and size of your *******. Breastfeeding and gradual weaning make it more likely that fat will be redeposited in your breasts, helping them to regain more of their pre-pregnancy appearance (Minchin, 1989).”

I applaud you for researching this and find out how wonderful breastfeeding is for both your wife and your child. More fathers should be as involved as you. Just keep trying to convince her, show her as much evidence as you can. If you don’t succeed, at least know you did as much as you could to help her make this choice.

Good luck!
