How long after stopping breastfeeding did you stop producing milk?

I stopped feeding my 7 mth DD two weeks ago and I can still produce milk. I'm just wondering what were your experiences on when that stopped. We had cut down to two small feeds (one morning and one evening) for a couple of weeks before stopping altogether. I'm not engorged but still have some breast tenderness.
Many thanks.

I stopped feeding 6 months ago. Squeezed my nipple in the shower this morning purely out of curiosity and I'm afraid to say, produced The White Stuff Blush
Sorry, something tells me that's not what you wanted to hear...

Thanks buffersandbumpers! Okay, I guess I have a bit further to go then! I have breastfed before with DC2 and DC3 but cannot remember this stage going on for very long, well longer than a week anyway. Each experience is different (if that's not something we learn with pregnancy and children!). Smile
Thanks
