i'm 20 years old and all of my bras are getting too small, is it because of my breasts growing? do they ever stop growing?

Question

I'm ---years old and I have no breast .I wear padded bras but if I have to wear swim suits or to get naked..I don't want surgery is there natural ways?

Answer 1

Breast tissue: The breasts contain fat and will change in size as you change in weight. They may also just not be done growing.

Answer 2

Keeps shirt dry: If you are a big leaker, get some heavy duty pads. The lansinoh brand makes pretty solid pads for most women.

Answer 3

Do it yourself!: When i was a nursing mom, i would fold a cloth diaper lengthwise and put it under a sports bra to sleep in. Was far more comfortable than the little pads which slide around, and very absorbent to prevent breast milk leaking in bed. During day, it may be less of a problem, but you may want to just use some soft absorbent pads inside your bra.

Answer 4

Yes: You can freeze your freshly pumped breastmilk for up to 3 months. It is best to keep it the back of your freezer to keep it very cold. Some report that if you have a separate deep freezer you may even keep it for longer.

Answer 5

Yes: Breast milk can stay for up to 6 months in the back of the freezer or in a deep freeze with a consistent temperature. Avoid keeping it in the door of the freezer as the temperature increases each time the freezer door opens. To defrost the breast milk, leave it in the refrigerator for a day before you plan on using it.

Answer 6

Great stuff!: Breast milk is the perfect food for babies: it has the right balance of fat, sugar, and protein, and it contains other nutrients like iron in small but very digestible amounts. The most unique and irreplaceable part of breast milk is immunity. Milk has antibodies, the tiny immune shields that protect against infections, and that vaccines will promote later in infancy and life.

Answer 7

Protein, fat, carbs: The aap recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months for a good reason. The proteins in breastmilk are easily digested and immunoglobulins protect your baby from bacteria and viruses. The fat help with brain and eye development. Breastmilk also contains vitamins and carbohydrates (mainly lactose) in the perfect combinations for your baby's health.

Answer 8

At times yes...: Fibrocystic breast can have different characteristics- you can feel something that feels like a small "bb", a rock, a pea or just and area of irregular thicness and tenderness. However any new breast finding or change in breast warrants eval by your doctor and possibly mammogram and/or ultrasound. It is important to be assessed- so make an appointment.

Answer 9

Yes: In fact, it's not uncommon for the breast to feel "lumpy".

Answer 10

Can be helpful: At this time there is much controversy about need for self breast exam. Guidelines recommend against. However, the possibility of you finding a lump or change on your exam can help make a diagnosis of a breast condition- more quickly. Your risk of breast problems should also be a guiding factor. If you are properly taught to do SBE there is no real harm to do them- and may help.

Answer 11

Focus on your normal: Focus on learning what's normal for you and your body. Then if there's something different or drawing your attention particularly if it's persistent then contact your doctor and let them evaluate.
