You'd still get engorged even after 1 week of no pumping?</p> <p>I am still pumping 2 times a day but down to 5-6 oz total a day now... sometimes so little would come out (2 oz after 15 mins) I'd think if I stop now, I'd be completely fine! Guess I am wrong.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-dry-up#post-404765 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 11:10:44 +0000 T-Mom 404765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was probably two weeks to go back to my normal size but I wasn't engorged since I had cut down to one feeding a day before quitting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-dry-up#post-404663 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 09:29:56 +0000 autumnlove 404663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was pretty much right away but I'm pregnant. :-( LO probably wasn't getting enough before I weaned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-dry-up#post-404596 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 08:27:32 +0000 Andrea 404596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 2 weeks? I put cabbage on my boobs to help dry them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-dry-up#post-404589 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 07:49:54 +0000 heffalump 404589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a long long time. I stopped when lo was a newborn because we were having some major issues, but we still did skin to skin. I swear my body still knew that lo was on my skin and thought she was supposed to be breastfeeding and wouldn't dry up until I stopped doing skin to skin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-you-to-dry-up#post-404588 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 07:45:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 404588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't pumped or nursed in a week but I woke up to my right side being engorged so I had to pump. How long did it take you to dry up once you decided to stop? </p>
