So I gave my last feed to 6 month old DS 8 days ago. I stopped gradually over a period of about 6 weeks and for the last week of BF he was having one feed a day. Ever since stopping my boobs have been firm and sore to touch - not engorged and not lumpy but achy and quite 'full' feeling. I haven't expressed at all as I didn't feel the need to. But this morning I woke up in a milky puddle - bleurgh- so I expressed enough to relieve the fullness. Nearly 4 bloody oz! And i could have kept going and filled the sodding bottle! How long does it take for the milk to dry up? With DS1 i don't remember experiencing this, although maybe I just blocked it out.
