But there wasn't any leaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658318 Mon, 26 May 2014 10:26:19 +0000 GreenThumb 1658318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Thank you! I'm thinking things will go pretty fast because of the BCPs. The estrogen will do the same thing as a pregnancy :wink: and by July, I hope I am pregnant again, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658311 Mon, 26 May 2014 10:23:29 +0000 GreenThumb 1658311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: @sotofamilia: @illumina: Thank you ladies! I'm hoping it is pretty quick! I don't mind having a little milk leftover, but I don't want to be uncomfortable for long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658307 Mon, 26 May 2014 10:20:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1658307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was dry really quickly after weaning. I also got pregnant two weeks later so that may have contributed. Good luck on the road to #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658302 Mon, 26 May 2014 10:18:54 +0000 illumina 1658302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was pretty quick. After we quit BF, I pumped every day for about a week, then every other day for a few days and I stopped feeling like I had any milk there. Then it took a couple of months before I could stop squeezing out any milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658296 Mon, 26 May 2014 10:14:38 +0000 sotofamilia 1658296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: it was relatively quick for me...probably two or three weeks. We were only doing one session though when we stopped. I definitely had a few days where I was uncomfortable, but it didn't last long. I asked around when I was going through it, and I think it varies depending on the person - some people were a few days and one girl was almost a year and still getting droplets!</p> <p>I weaned in February. I watched the documentary Breastmilk a week ago and squeezed just for kicks to see if anything came out, and nothing did. I'm totally dry.</p> <p>Best wishes on your next journey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658268 Mon, 26 May 2014 09:59:43 +0000 DillonLion 1658268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was able to squeeze a tiny bit out 6 months after stopping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1658257 Mon, 26 May 2014 09:53:11 +0000 GreenThumb 1658257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: That is crazy that you still have some milk left! I'm actually not feeling too bad today, so I'm hopeful that things will get back to their new normal soon.</p> <p>@birdofafeather: Thank you! I am really proud! I never expected it would be so easy and wonderful for me and DD and hope for the same with any future babies. Wish I could have kept going through pregnancy #2… darn infertility!</p> <p>@MrsMccarthy: Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you! We are keeping our fingers cross for July!!</p> <p> @LAZB: I'm glad it was relatively easy - I'm hopeful that it will be quick for me, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1657894 Sun, 25 May 2014 22:47:03 +0000 LAZB 1657894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was really easy for me to stop. I was pumping, but when I stopped, it only took me 3 or 4 days of weaning down to stop. My situation was very different though, so that's probably not the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1657891 Sun, 25 May 2014 22:46:02 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1657891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your accomplishment and big hugs! A sibling is a wonderful gift. I hope you are pregnant again very soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1657802 Sun, 25 May 2014 21:38:11 +0000 birdofafeather 1657802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm still nursing, but i just wanted to say congrats on making it so long! that's awesome and an accomplishment. nothing to feel guilty about! i'm sure it's bittersweet though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1657622 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:39:52 +0000 swedishfish 1657622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: I stopped nursing December 30. I still leak a little bit now and then so I still wear my Bamboobies pads. I had stopped pumping in November so I just let it play out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-your-last-nursing-session#post-1657617 Sun, 25 May 2014 19:37:29 +0000 GreenThumb 1657617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>…how long until you stopped producing milk? LO and I had our last breastfeeding session last night before she went to bed. She is 11.5 months old and we are going to do IVF for our (hopefully) #2 and I need to start on BCPs, so we've been cutting down on nursing for a couple of weeks now. I'm not engorged today (~24 hours later), but I'm a little afraid of how I'm going to feel in the morning. How long after stopping BF did you stop feeling full? Did you have to do anything (pump, express, etc.) to help in the meantime?</p> <p>PS: DH and I both totally bawled during the last session. Tough not to feel the guilt, but I know this is what we need to do. </p>
