Does Breastfeeding Cause Saggy Breasts?
Blaming only breastfeeding for the problem of saggy breasts isn't fair say experts who have concluded that many other factors play a role.
Some mothers prefer formula feeding whereas some choose breastfeeding. What's the healthier option? Breastfeeding is surely healthy for the baby and the mother too.
Firstly, it strengthens the bond between the mother and the baby. And then breast milk is the most natural and nutritious source of food for the baby which is free of chemicals.
