In theory it should go by itself, but if not there are both homeopathic and other pharmaceutical remedies you can take to stop your milk production. ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

Not laughing I promise  I was just as clueless when I was drying up the first time and my Mum laughed her head off when I rang to ask her!
If they're not sore and hard just let it go and they will dry up on their own. I found I had a bit of milk in there for months after I stopped feeding but apparently that is normal. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

If it is sore however dont try and express as that will stimulate the body to make more. Go stand under a warm shower so the water just dribble over your breasts. It will relieve the pain. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If you get engorged, I'd express the top off by hand but otherwise/afterwards, just leave it to dry up on it's own. -------------  |
