when will my breasts go back to normal?

I stopped breastfeeding last week. For a longish while at the end I was feeding from one side only - my 'good' boob is still engorged and uncomfortable while the other clearly has no milk at all.

Do I just wait for it to go away naturally?

It will settle down over the next 6 weeks or do. If it is painful for more than a few days you need to see a doctor as you may have mastitis.

6 weeks! Oh dear I have one very big and one very small. I will check out mastitis, but my feeling is that I would be more in pain than discomfort if that's what I had.

Thanks for answering!
