Hey pet, How are you doin? Yes, breastfeeding and pregnancy make your boobs (or for us unlucky ones) kind of .... different! Mine are kind of the same as pre-pregnancy, except they have the pale kind of stretchmarks on them and aren't AS perky, but still young enough looking that I don't feel TOO bad about them! It definitely is pregnancy that changed them for me, but then breastfeeding, when you start first, you get engorged -- ENGORGED (it deserves capitals!) -- and then emptied, of course, by two hungry babies (in my case!, and maybe yours eh?!) and so I found that the filling/emptying, filling/emptying process did make a difference to my boobs 'elasticity' etc. But it is worth it. To be able to breastfeed, even for a short time, was so satisfying for me. it is lovely knowing you baby/babies are feeding from you and getting what they need and that YOU are the one and only who provides it for them. It also -- in case you didn;'t know -- makes your uterus go back to its original state and size MUCH quicker, and helps you lose the pregnancy-weight. If you have skin that stretches well, you might be lucky -- if you didn;t get stretch marks during puberty etc, you may be less likely to get them during pregnancy/breastfeeding etc. Remember though, it is a wonderful bond to share wth your babies/baby, and it's something you'd always remember. But at the end of the day, it is entirely up to you and what you are comfortable with. xxxx

I breastfed ( and currently am) both times they got bigger and darker during pregnancy and then about 2 months after the babies were born they went back to the same size and colour as pre-pregnancy. Breastfeeding doesn't make your breasts sag as some may think.. pregnancy does. It's usually genetic, so if your ma, or women on your dads side have saggy ta-ta's, there's a good chance you will too, whether you BF or not. My mom BF all 6 of her children for 2 years each and she's still perky! As for the pack and play question, My daughter slept in one until we got her a toddler bed at 14 months. There really isn't a need to get a crib or basinette (most pack-n-play's have a built in basinette which is GREAT for newborns) and they can be folded up and carted around. I loved mine. :)

Ok...my nips are changing in ways I wish I had never noticed. My boobs are curently lopsided! One is bigger then the other and the nipple in bigger and darker then the other! meep!?
A question, If I breastfeed will then stay dark and large? Will they sag. I'm very small chested but still...and yes yuo martyrs for the cause of mothrehood, I am indeed asking this question and yes, my body does matter to me ....
Please no snotty responses... Next question, I live ina studio apartment that is TINY with no chance of moving for quite a while. would it be wrong to put the newborn to sleep in a pack n' play since we have to economize on space and money?
