A member asked:
Will my breasts continue to remain large as long as i am breastfeeding?

Yes: While your body is continuing to act as the main food source for your baby, expect your breasts to remain increased in size. They will reduce in size once you have stopped the breastfeeding process.

Breastfeeding: Likely you will remain engorged while breast feeding although this will reduce with time when your body decides it has produced enough.
