<< I usually answer, life causes breasts to sag! For the women and
 children out there who suffer because of the decision not to breastfeed, I
 shudder when I hear the sagging breast excuse. >>

Me too.  It isn't breastfeeding -- it's life.  Some of us developed saggily.
(Is that a word?)  I remember peeking at Playboy (yikes!) when I was 11 and
already well endowed, and wondering why I wasn't "perky" and didn't look like
the centerfolds....

And there isn't any research to my knowledge, but I suspect that those that
gain a lot of weight during thepregnancy and lose it quickly afterwards have a
tendency to lose more from the breasts after they stop breastfeeding.  Some of
us can't lose from the breasts even though they try.
