Experience with Breast Pain - Post-Weaning

Milk... takes AWHILE to dry up.
I still had milk in my boobs, even several months, after my kids weaned.
MONTHS after.
But I did not get engorged, because my kids weaned, gradually, and my breasts adjusted.

You may also check with your Doctor, just in case you have Mastitis.

Your breasts are hard in some places. You gotta get it out.
Go in a warm shower, and hand express it out.
AND see your Doctor and there are meds that will dry you up. Too.
But I would make sure, you don't have a Clogged Duct or something... and see a Doctor.

I didn't get a chance to drying up between my first two, and between #2 and #3.. well #2 pretty much quit on his own and my milk production had nearly stopped because i was midway in #3's pregnancy. But i remember it being almost a year before i had completely dried up after #3 weaned.

Depending on how fast you weaned him, i wouldn't be surprised if you were still producing. I'd really do the hot compress and massage until the you get the hard spots worked clear and then ice, ice and do the cold cabbage leaves as much as you can stand until you can't hand express any milk. But it still might take you a few more weeks, wouldn't be surprised if it takes a couple months either. This is kinda like pregnancy - each woman is different, each time is different.
Best of luck!

The milk can stay in there a long time. Your glands won't quiet down as fast as you think. Drink sage tea it stops the milk production.

I would guess it's a couple of milk ducts that are producing milk more than the others and is probably a blocked milk duct. You can pinpoint and "hand express" those ducts by rubbing the thumb towards the nipple area to get the milk out. Hopefully that will do the trick. They can be stubborn!

I still had to do a little hand expressing in the shower for a few weeks too, and was still soaking nursing pads for at least a month. And I nursed well over a year! The cold cabbage leafs do work, it never hurts to try it. Just get a new leaf as soon as the one you are wearing gets warm and wilty.

I had the same problem. I bound my breasts, that seemed to help a bit.
