Engorged huge boobs - 24hrs after stopping bf

I'm hoping for a little advice!!

How long will engorged boobs last for having stopped bf?

I was on morning & night bf but just before stopping bf also had 2 night feeds & small feed before nap...... so I've gone from 4.5feeds/day to none!!

I have been ready to stop bf for a while so feel positive about it stopping, I'm really glad I bf my dd! dd (13months) led the weaning quite abruptly but is super happy having cows milk & hasn't missed bf at all!!

So, having huge boobs - great if they stayed that way minus the pain but - I've expressed an ounce/30ml from right & 1/2 ounce/15ml from left twice today to ease the pain. How much can I express??

Any other suggestions on coping with sore boobs (havn't got cabbage & I just finished the lettuce for my tea!!) & HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GO AWAY?!?!?!

One tip I read was to sit in a warm bath - apparently it helps some of the milk leak out without acutally boosting supply as with expressing. Haven't tried it myself but might be worth a go ...
