Hi Holly and everyone,
I originally posted about a friends breasts shrinking.  She just wanted to 
know why this was happening.  She was worried that something was medically 
wrong with her.  Neither she nor I asked how to counteract it.

It turns out that she was drinking some kind of tea instead of water, that 
acts as a diuretic.  She became sick from dehydration.  She told me a few 
days ago that since she stopped the tea and started chugging water she feels 
her breasts are re-inflating.  And yes she is happy to have her rounder 
larger breasts back, for one thing, it makes her stomach look flatter.  Its 
hard to ignore fashion all together.

Thank you to everyone who replied,
All the best,
Chayn Fogelman IBCLC Israel

If breasts are first and foremost for feeding babies, and viewing them as
something else, according to Kathryn Detwyller is a culturally engrained
phenomenon, and, in a culture where the sexualization of breasts makes
breastfeeding very difficult for many mothers, why would lactation 
consultants
promote something to counteract breast shrinkage unless I misunderstood and
the mother thinks that it might inhibit lactation?

Respectfully,

Holly McSpadden IBCLC
