Seriously, I think moms who breastfeed should be given some sort of trophy for:
1) waking up every 2 hours to feed their baby
2) enduring the pain of breastfeeding (sore nipples, engorgement, etc.)
3) being selfless and on call whenever baby is hungry and revolving life around baby's sked
4) giving up alcohol, oysters, etc.
5) having to breastfeed in public and get the stares from impolite people
They do deserve, at the very least, to have nice boobs again! I only breastfed for 2 months. Since I was going back to work, I had to feed baby formula since I was not comfortable expressing milk in the office bathroom. Also, my daughter always hungry and she would bite my nipples, ouch! I even bought those nipple protection gels at Chicco and had to refer to a lactation consultant for advise on better latching. In the end, she was more satisfied with formula so at least that made me happy. Since my hubby and I were both fed with milk from the can when we were kids, we didn't see any reason why we couldn't feed the same to our child. Luckily, she only got sick once before she turned one so she is pretty much healthy!
Even if I fed for only 2 months, my breasts did sag a bit (and became smaller after, sigh!) so I think I could use Bring it Up. I wonder if it can make my boobs look bigger too... now, that would be nice!
