It's been a while since I last posted to this list, but I've enjoyed all the lively discussions. Regarding the thread about breast size decrease after lactation, I just thought I would share my little 2 cents worth -and they're canadian, so they may not be worth much... ;) Fatty tissue in the breast decreases during lactation to allow for glandular tissue to proliferate (starting during pregnancy) and lactate, so when involution happens during and after weaning, breasts may be smaller. Whether the fatty tissue then returns, I would imagine depends on many factors, including diet and genetics... Am I right?
