A. Yes, generally, exercise including breast lifting and tightening during the lactation period is considered safe and can be beneficial for overall health. However, it's not likely to significantly affect the shape of your breasts, since breasts are largely made up of fatty tissue and glands which are not influenced by exercise. Exercise can strengthen the chest muscles under the breasts and improve posture, which may enhance the overall appearance of the chest. That being said, every person and every body is different. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise routine, especially during specific periods like lactation. Keep in mind that proper support is essential to protect the Cooper's ligaments, which help hold up the breast tissue. Breast changes, including increased size during lactation, can impact these ligaments and lead to sagging over time. Comfortable, supportive clothing and bras can help manage any discomfort related to exercise during this period. Additionally, staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet are key for supporting both your physical activity and your milk production.
