The chest is a part of the body particularly sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. It therefore undergoes significant changes during the nine months pregnant when she prepares for her role, breastfeeding.
Because breasts contain no muscles, they are also very sensitive to gravity. That the young mother breastfeeds or not, breasts lose their tone after childbirth and only returned to the recovery curve to the hormonal cycle (naturally or on the pill). Contrary to popular belief, it is not breastfeeding that "abyss" breasts but the whole process of motherhood that "transforms the body into another body."
Inevitably, the skin loosens and, in some cases, stretch marks appear. The darker pigmentation of the nipple may continue beyond the postpartum period. But if women lose something by becoming mothers, they earn a certain fulfillment in their body experience.
Minimize the effects
Some measures are however necessary to minimize the unsightly effects of motherhood on the chest:
Wear a bra night and day after delivery, you are breastfeeding or not. Continue to wear a good bra for breastfeeding as breastfeeding.
Avoid at all costs abrupt volume changes caused by too rapid weight gain, eating too severe, bottlenecks, and some hormone treatments. Thus, cold turkey in full lactation (within one week after delivery) is the worst thing to do to the aesthetics of the breasts.
Breastfeeding 5-6 months and then wean gently is the best way to find a fuller (about one year after delivery). Attention in the weeks or months after cessation of breastfeeding, some women may feel small cysts in the breasts. They are "galactocele," appeared on the milk ducts where milk is not completely evacuated. Do not squeeze them or touch them, they will disappear spontaneously after a few months.
Practice exercises for toning the pectoral muscles.
Moisturize the skin of the chest (making sure however not to put cream on your nipples if you are breastfeeding).
A slow recovery
Above all, remember that it takes about a year to the body to recover from childbirth. After all, for millennia, prehistoric women had fat reserves for two years of breastfeeding.
Unfortunately, in some women, the return process is excessive normal and mammary gland atrophy (with or without breastfeeding). Thanks to cosmetic surgery, it is possible to be reshaping the chest but it is advisable to wait to have had all his children. It is also important to mature with her husband's decision to undertake a plastic surgery of the breasts. Most men find their wives to their liking and are not thrilled with the idea of a breast prosthesis.
