How long will it take for my boobs to get back to normal after stopping BF a 16mo old?

[RubyrooUK]

I've just stopped BF my 16mo DS. My boobs didn't hurt for a few days but now (10 days later) they are a bit lumpy and leak a bit at night.

What can I do to help without stimulating milk? How long does it take for your boobs to get back to normal after you've bf for this length of time?

Any help/tips appreciated.

Help, anyone? Thanks.

I stopped BF my 14mo a month ago, and felt the same way. It will pass (think by 2 weeks I felt no more discomfort, and now feel fine). My boobs are definitely getting smaller quite quickly! Need to go bra shopping (again...) Just over a month since I stopped now, and a lot closer to my old shape. There is still some milk there, but I'm trying not to check too often as don't want to encourage it!

Ah thanks milkjet - I don't know anyone else in real life who fed to this age (except my mum who can't remember!) so nobody can tell me what I should expect. Cheers!
