Just chiming into this conversation, I've been doing grow yours for one week and my measurement today-- up 1.5 inches!

Thats great.. but I dont understand how it is a good thing since you are only growing because you are producing milk. It is definately not permanent, in fact you will most probably end up smaller and flatter than before.. what is your long term plan?

I'm actually not producing milk.
I breastfed all three of my children each over 2 years, so I'm well aware of what lactation brings about-- pros and cons.
I'm still following my BO program, as permanent results are certainly desireable. I think what's been most valuable is the massage techinque itself, there is a lot to learn from it whether one chooses to follow the complete program or not.
Probably for me, I'll end up with some hybrid program, whatever seems to work best-- which does seem to be what most women end up doing anyway as we're all so different. This has been interesting enough for me to pursue for seven days, we'll see what else happens.
I'm curious about the hormonal responses building up prolactin will bring-- seems that even in a temporary mode, having more prolactin running around would support growth (permanent, hopefully) from whatever other NBE supplements we're taking.

In what way would prolactin support permanent growth?
Most women totally deflate after nursing.

Hi Sun, glad the grow yours is working for you so far. Everyone here says massage is necessary for growth due to the production of prolactin, so maybe it will help with your other program in some way. You mentioned a modified growyours routine, are you doing the full routine at this time to gain the results you've had so far? -- Sissy

Prolactin increases LPL in the breasts, and decreases it in the bum - LPL causes more fat to be deposited. (so I've read a couple of times)
1.5" in a week wow - that's great Sun. I'm doing grow yours too - but don't expect such great results as I've never had kids. I'm doing the same as you - a hybrid thing.
Just wondered - do nipples get darker/bigger when you begin to breastfeed - or is does it happen before you have the child (during preganancy)?
Good luck!

Sas,
Most women experience darker nipples during pregnancy. I'm not sure the exact cause (is it because of high progesterone levels, not sure)of that. After/during breastfeeding the nipples get lighter because of the baby feeding. As I have never bottle fed for the first few months of my children's lives I dont know how it is when women bottle feed right after delivery. I'm sure eventually it goes back to the usual color.

Sissy,
Thus far yes, I'm following their instructions fully. I'm only a week into it, and the instructions change for each week. So we'll see. I'm going to keep at it in some form or another for at least a four weeks.
