I made it 8 months. I had some guilt over switching to formula and weaning. In the end, both LO and I were happy with the decision. Now, he drinks WCM happily with a little work at the beginning. </p> <p>For laughs, he still plays with my boobs occasionally. It was hilarious when he found my Fitbit on my bra, took it off, then put it back right in between my boobs. Yep, he's got a sense of humor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227181 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:58:57 +0000 cascademom 1227181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: breastmilk butter, yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227167 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:54:30 +0000 mrsjyw 1227167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: um you're crazy!!! do you know how much dedication it takes to take the road you were on?! you deserve the bluest blue ribbon there is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227155 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:52:31 +0000 pl0508 1227155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was wondering the EXACT same thing last night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227141 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:49:11 +0000 immabeetoo 1227141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: are you joking me?! you worked so hard!! blue ribbon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227102 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:41:02 +0000 DillonLion 1227102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: mmmm butter</p> <p>@scg00387: ha i feel like i deserve only a participant ribbon. Like 'hey guys! Here i come in last place' lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227086 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:36:06 +0000 sorrycharlie 1227086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also wondering this! we're down to two nursing sessions. but by each one, I have a hard lump in my right boob (always an overachiever, that one..the left side is like, deflated). I am terrified of weaning because I am terrified of blocked ducts and mastitis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227069 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:30:55 +0000 mrsjyw 1227069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha i love you.</p> <p>wondering the same thing!</p> <p>i haven't pumped in a few weeks...we're down to one nursing session. i don't leak throughout the day. sometimes during sexy time :P... so hopefully i just dry up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227061 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:28:29 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1227061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering this too! I pumped once a day for 3 days (i was just pumping at this point) and didnt have to pump today, but i can tell there is still milk there. I dont see it all leaking out though, since my breasts only leak when really really engorged....i was thinking maybe reabsorbed...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227057 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:26:52 +0000 immabeetoo 1227057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: LOL</p> <p>I've wondered the same thing. Can't believe you're done pumping, woohoo! Gold medal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227056 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:26:27 +0000 NovBaby1112 1227056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was wondering the exact same thing! i have not pumped in about a week (since LO turned one) and was wondering what happened to any left over milk in there. i never got engorged or anything (prob bc I was only down to 1-2 sessions a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227055 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:26:24 +0000 dagret 1227055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i heard it turns into butter. </p> <p>Just kidding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1227051 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:24:21 +0000 cascademom 1227051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just dried up. I didn't leak at all during weaning. I only leaked early in his newborn days, but not much after that. I've heard of some women wearing nursing pads while they weaned since they leaked a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1226939 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:53:15 +0000 Dandelion 1226939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it leaks out. Then, your body gets the message (eventually) to stop making more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-to-leftover-milk-in-breasts-when-you-wean#post-1226936 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 12:52:27 +0000 DillonLion 1226936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it all eventually leak out? Does your body absorb it? Anyone know?</p> <p>Signed,<br /> Deep Thoughts from a Woman Weaning </p>
