Still in Pain 2 Weeks after Stopping Breastfeeding

I stopped breastfeeding relatively abruptly about two weeks ago.  In preparation I had shortened by pump sessions to 2-3 a day then to 1 a day and then just every day or two just to get a little bit of relief.  It's been two weeks since that point with no pumping at all.  My breasts are still very sore!!  The pain definitely didn't last this long with DS1, where I did the same thing.

Has this happened to anyone else?  It doesn't seem normal to have pain this long, but it's not an infection since I don't have any other issues (fever, etc.)  I keep trying to find information online, but I can't find much.

I just keep thinking that the pain will go away in a day or two.

Re: Still in Pain 2 Weeks after Stopping Breastfeeding

  • I weaned from EPing over the course of a month. I haven't pumped in the last 7 days and I'm still definitely sore.  I tried wearing an underwire bra yesterday for the first time and the whole underside of my boobs were super sore last night.
