Dear Heather and Lactnetters, May I add to just one of your points? Breast changes at weaning *need not* be so dramatic, with loss of fat deposits. With *long, slow weaning*, the ideal, fat tissue has a chance to build up again. Gradual weaning won't always end in plump breasts of equal size to pre-pregnancy, but should - generally speaking - prevent going flat (Heather's words were "two fried eggs"). If a Mum is putting on weight at this time, as well, she may even end up with bigger, heavier breasts at the point of weaning - which happened to me after my last child. (Blame the weight gain for this!) Remember, there are lots of variations in the human situation.
