As a family doctor I have performed hundreds of breast exams on women of
all ages - of course, the minority of these women have breastfed until
recently.  Guess what - all women's breasts eventually mature - ( refuse to
say sag).  It doesn't matter whether they breastfed, how many children they
bore, or whether they wore a bra.  What matters is their genetics and
whether they smoked. (yes, nicotine inhibits the conversion of proline to
hydroxyproline - the latter needed for collagen function).  Also, sun
worshippers who sunbathed topless or with lots of chest exposure also have
collagen problems and have stretchier skin.

What nonsense from anyone who complains about breastfeeding.  And - the
women who breastfed have a much healthier attitude about their breasts -
breastfeeding is what they're for.
