Stopped breastfeeding at six months, cut down gradually, engorged boob when will it go?!

[Radiator1234]

Just that really .... Have been cutting down dropping a feed a week/ every few days for the last 2-3 weeks. By last weekend I was on one feed a day and then on Wednesday morning I did my last feed. My left breast is now engorged and painful more than 72 hours later. Is this normal? When will I expect it to go down? Thanks in advance and I'm sorry I am sure this has been asked before.

So sorry you are engorged, have you tried pumping a little off, just so that you are more comfortable?

Just in case you have another DC or there are any lurkers, its best to drop one feed every two weeks.

Thanks for the reply. Boob much better today 5 days on.
