How long does it take for your milk to dry up?

[filtered]

not sure about giving up and wondered how long i've got to think on it.

have bf my lo for 7 months but had a bad couple of weeks cold, coughs sickness and finding it tough thinking of giving up as have been giving fromula this week , but then I know this tiredness etc will soon pass.

a GOOD WHILE,ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR MONTHS.
i COULD GET MILK OUT FOR months afterwards.

See filtered - told you an expert would come along

Am posting so I can remember to keep this bumped for you if it drops out of active convos.

Good luck and hope you feel a bit more positive xx

thanks cashncrry its so hard when you are ill as a mum no chacne to rest.

bumping for filtered in case she still needs some tips...

well - I breastfed DS1 for 14 months, within about 2 weeks of stopping my milk had dried up.

DS2 hardly get fed at all (tried for 5 days but wasn't letting down) so switched to formula - and my milk was still there nealry 7 months later !

sorry - bumping again for Filtered (let me know if you want me to bog off Filtered )
