22. I only had two.

And those National Geographic women probably had only about four or so children in their lifetime. Really. the child-bearing numbers in those cultures was lower than most people think.

Trust me. Even a relatively short period of breast-feeding can make a big change in the breasts. That's not true of all women. But if you go from being very small, as I always was, to a much larger size, as I did, and then stay larger, trust me, you need a bra unless you enjoy serious sagging.

And I did breast feed each child for two years. But the changes happened in the early weeks and months.
