I never feed either baby but my milk only took a week to dry up. Well with Addy it didnt even come in for about 4 or 5 days then I had one major sore day and after that it only took a couple of days. I think I could probably get it going again if I wanted.]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:58:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60636&title=drying-up-milk#60636 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60629&title=drying-up-milk#60629 Author: mum2paris

We are pretty much down to that as well - Ayja only has a b/feed is she wakes during the night and her first feed of the day will be b/feed if she wakes before we get up.   But the last few nights we have just been giving her bottles when she wakes at night so she is only averaging not even 1 b/feed every 2 days. I think she misses it, cos still will look hopefully down my top and go "ta?". But for milk drying up, i have no idea, it took a while for it to go after i had stopped feeding Paris]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:11:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60629&title=drying-up-milk#60629 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60612&title=drying-up-milk#60612 Author: fattartsrock

I cut down feeds, as i went back to work, and my boobs just "settled", so I had no problems with engorgement etc. When he stopped feeding, I didn't even notice. Having said that, i heard Weleda do a powder or something natural to help, but I see you are in Saudi, so that probably dosen't help...]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 20:11:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60612&title=drying-up-milk#60612 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60608&title=drying-up-milk#60608 Author: nikkitheknitter

Cabbage leaves apparently!!! (to help when they get full)

I just cut down on feeds gradually until I stopped at when Han was 13 months. It was fine when I was down to such a small amount of feeding.

Tho... I do still have milk there, so no definitive answer as to when it'll dry up. Apparently it can take years.]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 20:06:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60608&title=drying-up-milk#60608 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60603&title=drying-up-milk#60603 Author: Renee & Lauren

Sorry I can't help you as I bottlefed my daughter.. If you want to stop the milk coming in you can go to your dr and ask for some tablets and it stops it in 3 days!]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 19:20:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60603&title=drying-up-milk#60603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60598&title=drying-up-milk#60598 Author: Kim

I am trying to wean Zac. At the moment his first feed in the morning is breast and the last feed is formula then a top up of breast milk. How long will it take for my milk to dry up?]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 18:59:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3233&PID=60598&title=drying-up-milk#60598
