Breast sags is unrelated to breastfeeding.

The issues that relate to sag are:
Age
Number of pregnancies
Genetics/hereditary
Weight gain & loss
Smoking
Diet
Exercise
Support

Breastfeeding is NOT on the list. Relaxin is released in pregnancy & delivery. It loosens the tendons to make birth possible. It does NOT select which tendons loosen, so they ALL do - including the ones that hold up the breasts. This is more noticeable in some women than others & breast size makes a difference of course, as more weight pulling on a loose tendon is going to cause more stretching in the tendon. So wearing a comfy but supportive bra in pregnancy is actually pretty important if you are worried about sag.

    No, it really won't contrary to popular belief. The baby needs that nutrition to help support their health. Aside from genetic issues, there's a few things she can do to help prevent sagging prematurely. Making sure she always wears a good supportive bra appropriate for the breast size. Moisturizing the area also helps. Lose your weight at a moderate weight to help give the skin time to recover that pushing to lose the weight faster would exacerbate. And finally, doing chest exercises to help strengthen those muscles is key. Check the article for more detailed info.

    Saggy breasts are caused by pregnancy. Working out without a sports bra and losing weight to fast. Breast feeding has nothing to do with it. Breast feeding is good for the child and can prevent illnesses, and help the brain develop. It also helps the child's emotional development and mental well being. The CDC recommends breastfeeding until 2 years old.

    Breasts sag because they lack proper support and the ligaments become weak. Not because of breastfeeding.
