Breastfeeding does not make you sag

Doctors have found that smoking, aging and pregnancy itself has a bigger effect on the pertness of your bosom then breastfeeding.

Plastic surgeon Brian Rinker carried out the study, inspired by the number of women who approached him asking to ‘fix what breastfeeding did to my breasts.’

But he found there was no difference in the degree of sagging between the women that breastfed and the ones who did not.

In fact, smoking was one of the biggest factors because the chemicals in cigarettes breaks down the protein in the skin, which helps it look young and support the breast.

Scientists have previously proved that breastfeeding can boost a baby’s IQ.

Britain has the lowest breastfeeding rate in Europe.
