My last baby weaned this week
feeling blue

but on a happy note my mom always sends me bra money for my b-day which is on the 29th so...

so my embarrassing question ahem...how long do things take to find equilibrium in the bra area?
ohh gee was clear

are they going to get smaller or will my bra size stay the same? I'm just sort of wondering how long to wait before shopping.

Im not making tons of milk but am not totally dry its only been a week

I was a DD starting out 10 yrs ago and now Im a G please someone tell me they will go away

this has been emotionally harder than i thought it would be when he first started skipping his nap nursings
My one bright spot is that I might be able to find a non-white bra!

Ah well im off to hit the Hersey's kisses

My last nursed for over 4 years so not sure this will apply to you
It took about a year for everything to get to normal. Hormonal stuff, size (though I was small to begin with), moods, etc.
With my first nursling, weaning was easier and I remember being normal in size a little earlier. And he weaned MUCH earlier. In dd's defense she had a lot of dietary allergies and it was a good thing for her to be a long time nurser.
So, FWIW I would wait awhile before I went shopping--maybe 6 months? You'll know when things settle down and stop changing.
I know that sadness...I am so missing having a baby as we celebrate my last baby's 8th birthday--it goes by too quickly...

Wow, my very full cup B when I'm nursing seems so lame , but seriously I was wearing a cup A when I started also ten years ago. Usually I've gone from nursing to expecting which is not the case at the moment. Over the last month my baby has pretty much weaned off. Exception the occasional restless sleep. I am back to a very humble cup A again. I'd give yourself another month to shop.

I would think after a month or two that you'd be able to get something new but not go overboard and by your next birthday be more stable for size and that's when to go all out

I've mostly gone from nursing to pregnancy as well.

oh and think of the clothes you can get without worrying about access
