Breasts Drying Up

It has been 2 weeks since my c-section and my breasts still leak.  I have had them in a bra 24/7 for most of the past 2 weeks. They have not hurt or leaked while being in a bra.  A couple nights ago I didn't wear a bra to bed, and I just took my bra off 5 minutes ago, and each time my breasts started slowly leaking (no pain or discomfort...just leaking).  I read it takes 7-10 days for milk to dry up (we have been exclusively formula feeding since birth) and we are over 15 days.  How long did it take for your milk to dry up?  Do you think it took longer for my milk to come in, and consequently to dry up, due to the emergency c-section?  Thank You!

    With dd1 I had severely low supply so I stopped bf at 10 days. I would still leak occasionally 2 months later.

    Im at 19 months and mine still leak lol.  Well I have a problem with my milk duct. 

    but normally it can take a while and still be normal.  Talk to your dr. about it though just to make sure.

    My pain stopped after the 2 week mark but I think it was closer to 5 weeks when I could finally stop putting nursing pads in my bra.
