  • I completely quit 2 weeks ago and I'm pretty dried up. I only leaked the first couple of days and now I never feel "full". My supply was pretty low before I fully quit though and I had been weaning for about a month before.
  • I'd say about 2-3 weeks to dry out completely.  But it only hurt through the first week (days 2-5 the worst!).  I remember having to sleep sitting up one night because they hurt so bad and it even hurt to hold DS on my chest.  I was told to wrap them as tight as possible in small sports bras/ace bandages and use cold cabbage leaves.  This actually seemed to help, especially the tightness.  GL!
  • I've also heard taking sudafed helps. You may want to ask on the breastfeeding board.
