Isabelle, Wahaika, Ginie and Others, HELP!

#10

Yep, I had a mild case of tubular breasts. I was like you. Before pregnancy I was I believe a 32B, I was wearing the wrong bra sizes for years cause I thought I was a 34 band. But thinking back when I would get measured for dresses and such I think I was a 32B. During pregnancy and breastfeeding I went to a 34C. Like you my nipples USE TO BE small not puffy looking areolas, etc. During pregnancy they became bigger and the areolas became puffy looking. Then the breasts started looking triangular almost. Not so bad while pregnant and breastfeeding from what I remember, but got worse as I dried up and such.

I breastfed for 3 months. It was a constant battle. The first month I kept up with him okay but he was starting to become underweight. Like you I was prescribed things to increase milk production, shown how to do massages on the breasts for it, and I started pumping between feedings. I even started mixing baby cereal into my breastmilk after it was pumped and fed it to my baby for him to gain weight. On the 2nd month I couldn't take seeing my son not be at a normal weight for his age and size, so I started supplementing with formula (and this is why I think formula is bad for babies...). After I started that, he developed acid reflux and couldn't keep the formula down. But when he fed from me he was fine, I just didn't produce enough and it was getting smaller and smaller amounts I could produce. After he was 3 months I completely dried up and there wasn't a thing I could do. They put him on many different types of formulas and he couldn't keep any of them down. Even the one made for his condition, I think it was called Lipil AR. Well I eventually ended up taking him to a dr that finally helped, he believed in doing things outside of the box and not the norm to other dr's. And found a very simple fix. My son was able to keep food down and started gaining weight rapidly after a week.

Anyways, back to breasts. After breastfeeding I dried up to a saggy puffy nippled 32AA, sad I know. That is why I got into NBE. The first thing to work for me was Zoft gum, I talk about this in my picture program page. I got to a 32B with that, but they still looked tubular, I even massaged daily during this. The sagging I somewhat fix back then with the easy curves workout thing. Then I searched these forums and started NB, I put the improvement on my shape down to NB and BO, hands down. I recommend massaging before you pump with NB, and make sure you do what you are suppose to do while on BO, meaning plenty of water daily, plenty of protein, regulating your temp, etc. And now I'm a 32D 1/2 lol I'm in between sizes. But in my opinion looking in the mirror now... my nipples are still bigger than before pregnancy of course, but they aren't "puffy" anymore. My breasts are more round instead of triangular. They of course are not perfectly round but I think as close as I will get, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of their shape now.

So that's my experience and how pregnancy/breastfeeding was for me.

Out of curiousity, Melissa, did you leak ALOT during pregnancy? Like a ton of lactation? And did you leak like a faucet between breastfeedings? I did, I would go through a TON of breast pads. I would put tiny cups in my bra to try to catch the milk so I didn't waste it.
