I stopped breastfeeding my son almost two months ago and I still get very full and sore boobies and milk is still coming out, not fun!
When do you think I will get them back to normal? Thanks! Posted on 11/03/09, 12:11 pm |

Do you pump???
It took about 2 weeks for me to stop hurting and not much longer than that to be dried up?? Just make sure you are not pumping unless to help relieve some of the pain.

No, I do not pump at all....do not want to stimule for more milk to come....
And, I can survice with the soreness without pumping. My GF also, dried up 2/3 weeks after stopping BF. What is wrong with me? I have a doc appointment next week, hopefully she will give me some meds.

i didnt breastfeed for long but i used an old wives tale , i popped a savoy cabbage leaf in each cup of my bra, my milk dried up within a week. Its a little strange sleeping with cabbage in your bra but hey it worked, Thanks nan!!!

cabbage leaves and use the rest for coleslaw. While I wasn't sore, I had milk for years after my first two babies, so it's not unusual at all.
