Good question, Linda. It makes sense to me that if breasts get floppy from lactating and breast fullness, then there might be some problem for the guys experiencing all that engorgement and disgorgement through throughout their mature lives <g>. Maybe there's cosmetic surgery for this--anyone want to ask the MD in question? (I know the process is quite different, but it IS an interesting way to turn this about and look at it a little differently). Honestly, that doctor's comment about floppy breasts just makes me crazy. As soon as I finish reading Lactnet I'm going to head for that URL and see just what the article says. From personal experience, I can tell him that 7+ years of pregnancy/lactating didn't hurt the shape of mine one bit (she says proudly, then wonders why she's buying into this BIG DEAL about maintaining perky breasts. Need to go back and reread K. Dettwyler's chapter "Beauty and the Breast" in her new book--super chapter). Leslie Ayre-Jaschke, BEd, IBCLC Peace River Breastfeeding Clinic Peace River Alberta, Canada
