weaning after nursing 3 boys for a total of 7 years 3 months

[auburnmamma]

Hello!
Birch is 7, Attigan 5 and Rain will be 3 in sept. I have nursed since Birch was born. I have tandem nursed for 10 months and then nursed Rain by himself since birth. 2 weeks ago I got poison ivy on my nipples (among other places) and was forced to wean - we were only nursing 2 times a day plus the occasional loving. rain has been fine and enjoying being a big boy like his brothers. My issue is that where once there were c cups (prior to pregnancies) there are now A cups .

I like boobs! I want boobs! I know they are only gonna shrink more - it's only been 2 weeks. I never knew how much I liked the nursies.

anyone have 2 cents.

Wow, I don't have any cents, but I wanted to issue major props on the major gift you gave your boys. That is awesome!

Just for the record - they might NOT shrink that much. Mine were C's before pregnancy, then they shrivelled to nothing when I weaned. Then about 2 months later... they were my old happy C cups again. Well, minus a little droopiness. They're not IDENTICAL. But they're the same size, and a good bra can do wonders with keeping the nips pointed in the right direction.

thanks Burnindinner. i wouldn't have had it any other way!

candycat - so there is hope that they'll come back. i truly never knew I cared so much about the boobies other than as nursies. funny.

I hear ya
Same boat here, but Im breastfeeding again after a 2 year break after 5 yrs of bf.
I know what Ill be looking forward to after though.
Just know that you are a beautiful woman and mother that should be so proud of your A cups!! You did the right thing for the children you brought into the world. Oh, and get some padded bras (hee hee).
Mine got pretty wrecked from bf, but I feel proud of them and what they did.
I worked out and got the rest of my body ship shape and didnt even care about that most of the time.
