When do my breasts do down a bit ?

I'm bfing and I have been told before that after about 10 weeks your breasts should stop getting so full between feeds and should go back to approx pregnancy size.

I'm at 11 weeks now and they are still about the size of my head (feels that way anyway). I am still getting very full in the mornings and I would love to be able to get into some more normal clothes. In particular, I'm going to a wedding soon but I am loath to buy anything to wear if I am going to change shape before the day.... and with the outsize breast shape I am just now I don't think I could find very much to fit anyway.

So is this true ? When can I hope for a more normal shape ?

Don't know the answer but just bumping for you in case some more knowledgeable people come along.

Don't know what's normal either, but I went up two sizes from pre-pg and have stayed there for now - ds is 8 months. They used to be like bowling balls in the mornings if ds hadn't fed in the night, till about 5 months I think. Not nearly so bad now.

They stopped being ridiculously huge around three months and at seven months suddenly deflated. I still think I'm about a size bigger than pre-pregnancy but I no longer think I look like I'm bfing.
