Women have long blamed their saggy boobs on breastfeeding.
Yet research has found that it’s the expansion and contraction of the milk glands triggered by pregnancy, rather than breastfeeding, that causes droopiness.
In one American study, an academic interviewed 132 women seeking breast lifts or enlargements. Just over half had breastfed at least one child for an average of nine months.
Researchers found no difference in the degree of sagging between women who had breastfed and those who had not.
Consultant Mr Laidlaw says: ‘Women should definitely consider breastfeeding — especially as the health benefits for the baby far outweigh any possible effects on the breasts.’
Don't fear breastfeeding, research found it didn't make a difference to sagging
