I'm weaning slowly, so right now, tops I get like 8oz a day, but they don't seem any smaller than what they were when I was making 16oz a day. I pump twice at work and get 3oz, then nurse once or twice when I'm home in the evening. I've heard that about breastfeeding lowering chances on cancer, so hopefully I'm in the clear by now!

EllaC had a few comments on keeping post nursing breasts.
I believe she used massage.
Hopefully she will chime in, but you can search her posts.
Here are my favorite massage threads in the mean time"

Thanks Bobbi xxx
Yes post breastfeeding is the most awesome time to “keep” those breastfeeding boobs.
ive been there and done that. Lucky for me ive got to the point of relactation almost... but the boost in prolactin has been enough to keep my nipples first and foremost perky . But kept fullness also.
However if you are fresh post breastfeeding it might induce lactation again and you may get mastitis(a risk you may take?)
Otherwise there is a programe out there that brings you to the brink of almost lactation. they claim it works but ive not tried it yet.
honestly ive always thought by the assumption the longer you breast feed the better protection against female cancers , be it by way of delayed periods or otherwise i cant advise or know...
what i do know is from personal experience friends family otheriwise tend to keepntheir big boobs second time around breastfeeding. just my personal observations ?
