In a bit simpler terms, it is a soft jiggly tissue on the upper half of a woman or female that is for feeding babies (breast feeding). It plays a strong role in the sexual world. They are one of most visible or obvious female secondary sex characteristics, and play an important role in sexual attraction of partners, and pleasure of the individual. On sexual arousal breast size increases, venous patterns across the breasts become more visible, and nipples harden. Breasts are sensitive to touch as they have many nerve endings, and it is common practice to press or massage breasts with hands during sexual intercourse. Oral stimulation of nipples and breasts is also common. Some women can achieve breast orgasms. Breasts vary in both size and shape, and their external appearance is not predictive of their internal anatomy or lactation potential. The shape of a woman's breasts is in large part dependent on their support, which primarily comes from the Cooper's ligaments, and the underlying chest on which they rest. The breast is attached at its base to the chest wall by the deep fascia over the pectoral muscles. On its upper surface it is given some support by the covering skin where it continues on to the upper chest wall. It is this support which determines the shape of the breasts. In a small fraction of women, the frontal milk sinuses (ampulla) in the breasts are not flush with the surrounding breast tissue, which causes the sinus area to visibly bulge outward.

God designed a woman's breasts for 2 reasons. The first is to be pleasing to the woman's husband, and the second is to feed babies. hence why milk comes out.

Answer

Breasts are for feeding young. The breast is the mammary gland in female mammals. It produces milk to feed offspring. They exist in both sexes but development occurs in females due to hormonal influence. Breast cancer occurs in males and females. The evolutionary characteristic of protruding breasts is not yet fully known.

to attract a male for making babies then for feeding babies when they come along lol

They are mamary glands, after pregnancy they produce milk which is used to feed babies.

So when women have a baby the baby can suck on the milk. (and men love too play about with them and suck on then as well)
