when you stop BFing...
how long does it take for your boobs to dry up? And how painful is it really?

Re: when you stop BFing...
I BF for a year and it wasn't painful for me at all. I can't remember how long it took for me not to feel full.

Re: when you stop BFing...
It wasn't painful for me cause i weaned her very slowly, i get back 1 feeding at a time and did that for a about 5 days, then cut another feeding did that for another 5 days....
So by the time she was 100% on formula, i was already almost dry. it prob took about another month or so to get my non BF'ing boobs back.

Re: when you stop BFing...
It wasnt painful for me b/c I pretty much stopped producing milk, and thats why I stopped BF'ing. I took supplements and everything, and it just died down on its own.

I did the same, in a less systematic fashion, but the process was gradual, so I never had any pain or discomfort.

I was feeding her 2x/day and more recently I felt like I didn't have much milk and she wasn't nursing long. I stopped cold turkey 2 days ago and so far no pain at all.

Re: when you stop BFing...
i nursed for 1 year. it was very painful for me. i was so engorged and was putting ice packs in my bra. taking motrin every 4 hours. it took a good week for the pain to go away and slowly its starting to shrink. i did have to express some as i was in alot of pain. its been 3 weeks and im almost back to my normal size. good luck

Re: when you stop BFing...
Took like almost a week for me. It wasn't as bad as I thought, I did have to pump a few times (couple of seconds) to release some pressure.

Re: when you stop BFing...
I pumped for a year and it took me 4-5weeks to slowly stop. I didn't want to risk any infection or plugged ducts. It did not hurt,just felt weird at times.
