Will my breasts really shrink after breastfeeding?

28 y/o FTM, EBF. 128lbs pre baby, currently 180lbs. My breasts grew SEVERAL cup sizes during pregnancy. I’m talkin from a C/D cup to a J/K cup… I am currently 6 weeks postpartum and these ginormous mommy milkers are really fucking with my body image. I had a really great set of boobs my entire adult life and was always super confident about them. They looked cute in everything, even without a bra. I knew those days were over when I got pregnant and I don’t expect them to ever look like they used to, but holy shit I don’t think I can handle the size of these things. Now I can’t find any clothes or bras that even sort of fit. I am so grateful that I am able to feed my baby but is it normal for them to have grown so much? Will they get smaller again on their own? If not, I am fully prepared to get a breast reduction once I’m done breastfeeding. I can’t believe how physically and emotionally painful it is to have large breasts 😭
 
@georgem This. My breasts went from looking like perky upwards facing little button tits, all the way to tubular floppy downward facing giant pepperoni tits that resemble Torpedo Ted from Super Mario Kart.

All in the span of 5 months postpartum.
 
@con4christ88 I had the same pre and postpartum stats as you but I was a 34B. While breastfeeding, I became a 40DD. It was shocking. I weaned 2 months ago, and I’ve settled at a 36C now, but I’m actively trying to lose weight so that may change.

They look like testicles dangling in the wind now but I’m grateful for them keeping my baby chunky and healthy for as long as they did.
 
@kaccy Similar situation - 36B to something like 38F. I wake up in the morning and they’re the size of LO’s head 🫠 I’m so proud of what they’ve done for my little chonky boy but it’s a challenge to manage sometimes haha. Even my new bras end up looking like thongs
 
@kaccy Your present-day description made me shout 😩🤣🤣🤣🤣 well done on creating a whole human and nourishing/sustaining said human! An amazing feat for sure 🤍
