The baby's sucking releases hormones that contract the uterus , helping it to return to its normal size more quickly. Women who breast-feed lose weight more quickly after birth. Breast-feeding provides contact between mother and baby that builds their relationship. Almost every woman can produce milk after her baby is born and breast-feed with success. But you may have questions.
Breast size makes no difference.
The amount of milk a woman's breasts make does not depend on their size or shape. Breast-feeding will not make your breasts sag. Your breasts may look a little different after pregnancy, but aging causes most of the changes in breast shape. Each pregnancy, however, does cause some change as the breasts enlarge and develop in preparation to make milk. These changes occur whether or not you choose to breast-feed.
