I stopped breast-feeding about 4 months ago and I still have some milk dose somebody know when will it dry up or something I should use or take/??
I had a little milk for more than 2 years after I stopped breastfeeding. If it's making you uncomfortable or causing pain, I would check with your doctor, but if not, I think it's normal to have milk for a long time after stopping BFing.
mine dried up quickly once i stopped pumping.. although that was only for about 2 months.. i know they dont usually do this anymore but when my cousin had her son 3 years ago she said the milk wouldnt go away and it was starting to really hurt her so she told her doctor she was in a lot of pain and just wanted it gone and they gave her a pill or pills to take and she was fine.. id ask your doctor
Usually only took a few weeks for my milkers to dry up. Maybe try taking cold medicine? The alcohol in it helps to dry it (which is why you aren't supposed to take it while BF'ing). Even if you don't have a cold, a night or two of it won't hurt ya.
But I'm no doctor either, could check with yours if it's a large amount and bothersome. I think there is a pill they can prescribe to help dry up.
If you have a lot of milk, where it's bothering you then go see your doctor.
I was able to express breastmilk up to 6 months after weaning my youngest - it is after all what breast are for ;) lol
I could always get a small amount of milk out if I squeezed on my breast even 3 1/2 years after stopping breastfeeding. Just a couple drops though. I asked my ob/gyn and he said some women have milk until menopause! Imagine that! I am now 17 weeks pregnant with #3 and the milk is gone but my breasts are enlarged and seem to be getting ready, weird though!!
I was able to express milk in small amounts for a year or two. If it's a small amount and it doesn't bother you then don't worry about it. If you're leaking or something, then talk to your doctor.
