Due to a recent stint in hospital and the lovely drugs ( ahem..) they have me on I have had to wean Soph
So yesterday she went on a bottle and has been taking it great. I have been expressing milk off when my boobs are hard , is this the right way to do it? like last thing at night and in the morning. How long did it take for the milk to go away for you ladies and is there any natural products you can take to help it stop? Thanks ladies   ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Someone started a thread about this recently so I've bumped it up the list for you - see "How to dry breasts up". |

Aww I hope you're feeling ok with that. If she tucks herself in for a feed (you know, the "snuggle"), you can easily turn her around and she'll forget. In about a week she won't even remember feeding off you!!! Just express off if you get uncomfy and only that amount... I weaned Kryssi from 3-4 feeds per day to nothing when she was 9mos and I think it took 2 weeks. -------------  |
