A member asked:
Will breast feeding lead to sagging more than bottle feeding?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
For some women yes: Breast feeding does change the breast contour for most women in some fashion. The benefits far outweigh the vanity cost. Breasts were meant for this purpose and if a mom has the opportunity to breast feed i hope she would take it. Breast feeding also has health benefits for mom for decades...Reduced ovarian cancer risk, breast cancer risk, osteoporosis, etc.

Not necessarily: In fact, breast feeding may assist in maintaining physiological health for the breast tissue, and in turn help strengthen ligament support for the breasts. Being a strong proponent for breast feeding i might be a bit biased in this answer!
