(I'm not worried about the effect, as I definitely want to, but I'm curious...)
When you stop breastfeeding they will return to your "prepregency" size or one cup size larger. Sometimes they get stretch marks; but it is well worth a few marks!

I think the major thing to remember is that sometimes it does take awhile for the milk to come in. Don't let doctors or other well meaning people tell you this is bad for the baby, that s/he is starving . . . Hang in, and it will come in and in the long run it is much better! Best of luck to you.
