How long to stop lactating
So the munchkin will soon be 3, and we finished breastfeeding about 2 weeks
ago. I actually figured I'd be finished producing milk by now, but not a chance, last night I was actually so uncomfortable I had to express some to relieve the discomfort. How much longer can I expect to be producing milk, any idea? Thanks for any help Heather. -- ******* The 3 sentences that will get you through life. #1, cover for me #2, oh, good idea boss. #3, It was like that when I got here -Homer Simpson http://www.flickr.com/photos/stormlady/ |

How much longer can I expect to be producing milk, any idea? try not to express as it should help send the signals that you don't need the milk, however it can still be up to a year that you produce some milk, I stopped bfing 10 months ago and I still have milk, not enough to cause discomfort, though from time to time I've had a bruised feeling as if there is some back up. I asked my LLL leader how long it was normal to carry on producing some and she said up to a year. Anne |

Anne Oh wow, a year, that's a long time, longer than I was really thinking I'd actually like to be close to having another by then. I was really trying not to express last night, but I was so uncomfortable that I just had to do something. Thanks Heather |

For some women milk production seems to last a long time for others a short time. If you get pregnant, things may be very different than they would be without pregnancy. It may mean that your milk production will stop very quickly, though a few women find they leak milk during pregnancy, even if they never lactated before pregnancy. --Betsy |
