It is one of the great myths about breastfeeding, but numerous investigations have shown that the breasts do not fall from breastfeeding the baby, but from pregnancy .
A study in this regard has been carried out by researchers from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) following the concern of some mothers with breast implants who think that breastfeeding will spoil their breasts.
What the experts explain is that it is not breastfeeding that is responsible for the breasts falling , but rather the pregnancies and the passage of time.
The number of pregnancies a woman has (not whether she breastfeeds or not) is what causes her breasts to sag over time.
Surgical mothers, concerned about the appearance of their breasts after spending good money on cosmetic surgery, are less likely to breastfeed their babies , experts say. The idea that the breasts will spoil conditions the proper functioning of breastfeeding, reducing the chances that it will be successful.
When analyzing the breastfeeding habits of 160 mothers with breast implants, they found that 86 percent of the 97 mothers who failed to breastfeed thought that breastfeeding would worsen the appearance of their breasts.
Experts, of course, dismiss this idea as unfortunate . Women need to be responsibly informed about the truths and myths of breastfeeding, emphasizing its enormous benefits.
Both those women with breast implants and those who think that their natural breasts will be spoiled by breastfeeding their babies, tell them that breastfeeding is the best gift that can be given to a child. And fundamentally, tell them that this is not the case. The breasts do not fall from breastfeeding the baby, but from pregnancy .
Hormonal changes, weight gain during pregnancy and the number of pregnancies are some of the risk factors involved in the sagging of a woman’s breasts.
