Infant feeding

Will they ever be normal again??

I stopped feeding a week past on Sunday and was wondering when my milk will dry up.

DD2 only really fed from my left side and it
is therefore very very full in comparison to my empty right side. Will they even out again or am I destined to a life of odd boobs?

HOw old is DD2? DS had his last feed a couple of weeks ago and boobs are pretty normal now (saggy, stretch marked normal that is!) he's 1yo and the last 3 months were one-sided, but they've pretty much balanced out already - but saying that the feeds reduced so gradually over the last couple of months, that my boobs probably adjusted over that time - if your DD is younger and feeding finished quite quickly then it might take a bit longer.

She is 13 months. I stopped over a week ago now and the big one doesnt seem to be going down. She was feeding twice day for a while then about a week and a half before I stopped altogether she went down to night time only then a week past on Sunday she had her last feed and we have gone cold turkey since then. Still wearing the hammocks nursing bras and pads just now for comfort till the biggy goes down.
