Took mine about 3 weeks or so,I didn't express or anything,just waited for it to dry up.

If it gets painful for you I suggest some gel packs or cabbage .It really helps.

Mines dried up already, did over a week ago actually. I never tried to breastfeed or anything.

Hi, i breast fed for a week, and it took 2 weeks for mine to stop leaking all over the place!!

(had to use 2 pads at once to stop soaking through my tops, i hated that happening!)

I never breast fed, my milk came in day four and I suppose it took a week from then x x

I gave up 2 weeks ago and my boobs went bloody huge and turned into leaky taps and now they are back to normal,a bit sensitive but my milk doesn't leak any more.If i'm doing the naughty I get some but apart from that nothing.I'd say 2 weeks xx

I breastfed for 4 /5 months and it took over a year to dry up. Confused the piss outta me!
