A Few Weaning and PPAF Qs

rattlecanqueen

I apologize bc I'm sure these have been asked a bazillion times over but here goes...I have been completely done BFing since Friday (no pumping for a few weeks) and was wondering how long does milk take to dry up? I've cut out sessions gradually over the last month and a half, so we were down to just one last week, if that info helps.  Also, when do you typically get your first PPAF after weaning?  (I've been getting crampy for a while now, and today they were getting worse and would just like to get it over with already and quit getting random PMS symptoms lol!)  Thanks!

I'd say it probably took about three weeks to be completely gone but I didn't have to wear breast pads or anything after the first week. I stopped BF Dec 16th and got my first PPAF on Jan 6th so almost a month after. It can really vary though.

It's been awhile since I weaned, but I think it took a couple weeks for the milk to dry up.  I weaned gradually as well.

I got my first PPAF about a month after I was completely done BFing.  (And then got pregnant a month after that.)
