Breastfeeding Ribbon & News

About time! So many women(and men) think breastfeeding causes saggy breasts. Not so!
It's a very short article, but for those of you who don't want to check the link, here's the most important part:

As the first study to examine what impacts breast shape in connectionto pregnancy, plastic surgeons found that a history of breastfeeding, the number of children breastfed, the duration of each child's breastfeeding, or the amount of weight gained during pregnancy were not significant predictors for losing breast shape. However, body mass index (BMI), the number of pregnancies, a larger pre-pregnancy bra size, smoking history,and age were significant risk factors for an increased degree of breast sagging.
