question for FF moms

MrsMommyQ · July 2010

How long till your breast milk dried up? Right now I'm engorged and its a little painful! Just wondering how long this lasts!

TIA!

I don't remember for sure, but I think about 2 weeks. I never had any pain from it, but I was told if I did to take Motrin and use soft ice packs or frozen peas. Hope your pain goes away soon!

My engorgement lasted about 2-3 days, I still have a tiny bit of milk leaking a month later... hth!

Your ticker says LO is 5 days old... that's right on schedule... mine were TERRIBLE... but only for a day... started to NOT HURT after about 2 days, but milk still leaking and such... HTH GL

I still BF twice a day, but it took my milk about 3-4 days to adjust from fulltime breastfeeding to only twice a day. I pumped a little to relieve the engorgement.

IT took me about a week and I never took my bra off except to shower. I had no pain at all.
