According to the latest issue of Ladies Home Journal, actress Nicole Kidman loved the way her breasts filled out her figure while breastfeeding her 1 year old daughter with Keith Urban, Sunday Rose.

She says she went up a cup size or two, and her new curves actually helped her secure a role as a sultry siren in the upcoming musical "Nine" starring Daniel Day Lewis.

"They're not very big, my boobs, so they just became normal size. I loved it!" she says in the December/January issue of Ladies' Home Journal. "I felt very Woman. When you've had a slightly androgynous body your whole life, having breasts is a nice feeling."

I get what Nicole is saying. I've had a narrow, curveless frame my entire life (read: shaped like a boy). Pregnancy (gaining a third of my weight with my daughter) and breastfeeding made me feel vuluptuous for that short time. Of course, when you're tired, frazzled and unshowered, it kinda doesn't matter that much, does it?

How much bigger did your breasts get during breastfeeding? Did they revert back to their normal size and shape when you stopped?
