Random question. Have decided to stop BF 15 month old DS.

We'd dropped down to one evening BF - is there a risk I'll leak now we're stopping it completely? (I work FT so don't want any embarassing moments! wink)

I stopped BF about 5 weeks ago (on the right side, 3 weeks ago on the left), and have had no leaks. But I was never leaky anyway.

Although I am still making milk. And LO randomly latched on and fed twice the other night. confused

I last fed 16mo DS two weeks ago and have had the odd wet patch. Nothing major but just a bit. I've worn and carried around breast pads just in case. The milk is really drying up now and I don't have to pump to relieve the pressure and think this makes a massive difference.

The body is quite amazing isn't it? Can't believe we still fed for this long but am glad we did it. I love the cuddles now that don't involve DS helping himself.......!
