One common reason why many women are afraid to breast feed is because they believe that their breast will become saggy. This myth of gigantic proportions has been perpetuated over the centuries chiefly because of ignorance. Sure breasts can become saggy but this is not due to breast-feeding.
A lot of recent data shows that breast feedings does not affect the size, shape or volume of the breast. During all pregnancies, breasts are engorged and appear bigger. The ligaments that support the breasts also are stretched and often after delivery, the ligaments lose their elasticity and the breasts sag- so breast-feeding is not the reason for sagging. Unfortunately, breast sagginess does tend to increase with each successive pregnancy, and this is especially true in women who already have large breasts. To day, there is no medical treatment for saggy breast except cosmetic surgery
