Drying Up

Leah&Cole

I have been EBF, but am switching to FF for returning to work at the start of October.  Over the last two weeks, I've switched over to pumping and bottles, with the exception of one overnight nursing.  I've also eliminated some pumping sessions -- down to two pumping sessions, only pumping about 3 oz each time (was getting ~6 oz before I was trying to limit).  Last night I nursed for the last time.

About how long can I expect it to take to dry up?  I have forgotten everything about this part of the process with my son..... 

Any tips other than ibuprofen, cabbage, and keeping hot water off of them? 

Thanks.
