After 11 amazing months I have decided now is the time to stop feeding my princess. I was down to one feed; then I cut that to expressing just once a day for a few days, so try to get my body used to it. I havent expressed for about 5 days now. I'm not engorged, BUT my boobs are hard and lumpy. Not really sure what to do with myself... does anybody know how long this lasts for? Should I express a bit to relieve them, or will that just make things worse? I don't have mastitis (had that before) but, it's getting a bit uncomfortable. Not sure how long the milk takes to get "absorbed" back into the body? I did the same thing when I fed my son previously, but I don't remember my boobs ever being like this... I'm longing to sleep on my front again haha! Any advice?
