Okay, here is my question: I heard that for women that nursed, your boobs re-inflate before they begin to grow, has anyone found this to be true or accurate?


The reason I ask is I am just about my pre-pregnancy size in boobs, and am hoping that I will see another cup growth after this point. I have a 1/4 inch to in both boobs before I am at that size, so hopefully not too much longer..........

I nursed 4 of my kiddos who are now 6, 7, 9, and 18. Normal was an A cup for me but up to B when pregnant and a full C while nursing. In my experience, they did have that same "full" feeling at first as if they were re-inflating, yes. And although they were fuller, the tape measure hadn't moved yet, they just seemed very swollen. But 2 weeks later the tape measure has gained 1/4 inch and they are more firm. I'm in B cups now. I think for those who have nursed our boobies have some sortof "memory" of being bigger and may react to NBE a little differently. Hopefully more quickly! For me that's what seems to be happening. I definitely sometimes feel just like I did when I was nursing and the baby was over-due for a feeding! Still having soreness and sporadic deep pains also.

HI Lisa, don't know how long you have been doing NBE, but it has taken me since May 06 to get to this point. I started out with empty sacs of skin (alot of skin) so really I have made it from a hardly A to a small B. Which all in all isn't bad. But like I said, I am only just now getting to the size I was before kids ~ I nursed 2 of them, C's and D's while nursing!! So I was hoping that once you reached the pre-baby size, then it might move a little quicker, or at least meant that I should be able to grow bigger in less time;-) the ups and downs along the way have been really hard, and I am not sure how much longer I will go without taking a break from everything............

I understand. I was lucky to stay pre-baby size when all was said and done with the kids. I haven't had to deal with NBE frustration so I'm probably over-enthusiastic at this point! Have you thought about PM or BO rather than herbs? If herbs don't end up getting me where I want to be I'd probably try one of those alternatives myself. Hang in there!

I have thought about both actually ~ bo is still too scary for me (don't mean to offend anyonre) and the stuff I read about pm and some of the side effects I really don't want to deal with...........I have seen some growth /reinflation so I think the herbs are working, it might just take me longer :-( I am really hoping that since things seem to be moving lately that maybe things will move along, but who knows

Well, I cannot say for sure, but I can tell you my experience so far.
I nursed 2 children-each over a year and almost 8 yrs apart.
I started as full A, small B and was a C when nursing. Back to small B after. Definitely saggier the second time around. Didn't bother me the first time. Hence, here I am trying to grow some.

I have been at this NBE thing for 10 months now and felt I had a little success w/ the BO. I quit taking anything for a bit and then started heavy on the Vitex for about 2.5 months. Now still doing vitex and started BO again just 2 days ago.

I do think it starts the filling in first though, because as long as I have been at this, I should be ginormous (yes, technical term) by now. :) HA!

Being half asian isn't helping me at all- I'm guessing the full caucasian folks are fairing much better. There are some out there who don't believe the asian thing is a problem, but I feel like it is.

Anyways- I do know that something is going on, it just isn't happening as fast as I would like it to. I also thought it would help that I started the NBE pretty soon after I stopped nursing my son. ((Shrug))(I dunno...)...

BB's website says that women who have had children or lost weight will have fullness and roundness restored before actual growth. This has been happening for me.

I would assume that the same thing would happen with herbs, aren't both methods tricking the body to grow like in puberty?

Oh Lisa, I hope your right and our boobs remember how big they were when nursing, I'm gonna have some big round firm D's again!!!

HS29 ~ your boobs sound like mine ~ except mine weren't just saggy ;-) I don't think its just ethnic background that lags behind!! I am full caucasian, and its still taking me a while.!!! But you could be right when you measure out the majority.


Sissy ~ curious how long have you been on NBE (sorry if you have a page already, haven't read it) and if you are close to pre-baby size?

I will confess, that even if I only manage to become a Full B I would be happy. I really am shooting for a c to even my body, my butt to me is huge, but if I can't make that goal I will settle for less and be happy............(okay I keep telling myself that)

I'd like to know who all found the statement accurate: that women who have had children or lost weight will have fullness and roundness restored before actual growth? and if upon reaching the original size did you increase at a faster pace, maybe not super fast but quicker then originally?

Henri, I was a full round B before baby, but since I went to a D while nursing, it's hard to determine because they have changed shape. Although I didn't appreciate them at the time, before pregnancy, they just sat there, they didn't have hang to them. I've been on BO since Nov 15th, and immediately restored fullness, but only 1/2 inch growth so far, but I'm dieting and not expecting fast growth. I do hope to fill in on top more, and I'll take that over actual growth.

I had gotten sick in November, and lost like 4-5 unplanned lbs. That week, my breast disappeared to empty saks. That's when I found this place and started BB. To answer your question, I think yes fullness has been restored, but still waiting on roundness. If I cup my breast and push them back up and inch and 1/2, they are pretty much pre-baby size now, but obviously the skin has stretched so it will take more fullness than before to fill them up.

You are doing really great so far, and I know what you mean that you will be happy just for some improvement, I say that too... but what I really want are incredible breast, and I'm willing to put in the time to get them. Good luck! -- Sissy
