Drying Up (Milk)

[Farah]

How long did it take for your milk to be completely dried up?

[InlovewithShane]

I never breastfed and it took me 4 days I think...I used cabbage leaves.

[yvonne]

2.5ish years.

Yes, I said YEARS.

[~*Amie*~]

I think it was a couple weeks after I stopped breastfeeding Peyton.

[Becky]

Maybe a few months? I just gave them a test squeeze and got nothing.

[Meshell]

Mine only took a few days to a week surprisingly.

I never had any issues at 14 months when we weaned....I stopped and thankfully never had any problems. but I could still get a tiny amount of "milk" a few months later.

It was a matter of days because our weaning was so gradual that by the time he quit he'd only been nursing like 10-30 seconds at bedtime. So I didn't even notice.

[AshleyMommyto2]

2months and I didnt Bf but 2 days..

[Heather]

A week maybe to be completely dried up?

[Utahmama]

It took me almost a year. I haven't been able to get any milk out for about 4 months now.

[Jojo]

over night. :rolleyes:

[Leah]

We slowly weaned, so right before stopping he was only nursing once a day. I think it was only about a week or so from that point. ;)

With DS I didn't as I got pregnant the month after I weaned him...it went down to almost nothing but never went away. DD - weaned her mid-January and it was gone for good the end of March.

I've pretty much been lactating for 2.5yrs straight... I nursed isabella a good ways through my pregnancy w/ jude and always leaked even after she weaned.

With D, a few weeks. I have no idea with John b/c I got preggers a week or two after he weaned and am still getting milky stuff out of old hefty lefty. Righty is just colostrum at this point.
