Does breastfeeding make breasts sag sooner?
Not necessarily. Sagging breasts are a common result of aging and gravity. Sagging breasts are determined by weight gain, genetics and skin elasticity. Avoiding excessive sun exposure and smoking will increase skin elasticity and weight training (particularly focussing on the upper body, though it is important to weight train for the entire body) will help to increase the pectoral muscles to lift the breasts. As well, wearing proper, yet not constrictive and well-fitting support will assist in this. If you take care of your weight and health in these ways you are unlikely to have breasts sagging any earlier than someone who has never been pregnant or breastfed and who does the same things. Someone who does NOT do these things is as likely to have a problem with sagging breasts, earlier or later whether they have breastfed or not.
