I stopped breast feeding a month ago my breasts are no longer engorged but I can still squeeze what seems like colostrum from my nipples, when will this stop???
@hellosweetie, also I went back to work and knew I wouldn't be able to pump
@hellosweetie, it just wasn't for me. I pumped from the get go and only put her on when my milk supply dropped but it was too difficult to do everything we wanted while breast feeding
Mine took at least 9 months I say 9 months because I am pregnant again and feel like I could be leaking colostrum now so I'm not sure
Just wondering, if it's not causing engorgement or pain, what's the big deal? This is an honest question out of curiosity, not judgement! Also, many women can still produce for a long time after they stop breastfeeding, it will go away, but in the meantime it shouldn't cause any harm! You could also continue to breastfeed your little one if you want to every once on a while, but that's your choice, just as it was your choice to stop and I'm not saying you HAVE to just because you're still producing lol just throwing it out there haha if this really is a big deal and you need to be dried up completely, you can try putting cabbage leaves in your bra, switching them out every couple hours and that's supposed to draw out the milk...? Should be gone in a few days or so, or so I've heard!
Totally understandable, was just curious lol
