Melissa,

About 3 months ago one of the instructors at a local nursing school
approached me to ask about her "lack of breasts".  She is a huge
advocate of BRF and always has haad pretty small breasts.  She had just
weaned her third BRF child (after more than a year of nursing) and
describes her breasts as "nothing but nipples hanging off the chest
wall".  She was upset about it, but still glad she had been able to BRF
her kids.  She wanted to know if this was "normal".  I certainly had
heard of breasts getting smaller after weaning, but not to this degree!
