i guess it varies from each women, mine stopped like about a week after i stopped breastfeeding. So your on formula now with her? Its sucha pain waiting for the milk to dry up lol, just make sure you arent squeezing ur boobs or anything to express milk that might be making it take longer to dry up possibly, just an idea.

you can try binding your chest... i know it sounds uncomfortable.. and it is.. but it works... the women in my family have been doing it for generations.

Basically you take an ace bandage and wrap it around ur chest sort of tight. It closes the ducts i assume and ur body just stops making it. People have tried saying *oh dont do that you'll get clogged ducts and blah blah blah* but out of the 8 women in my family who have done it for multiple pregnancies over 50 years, thats never happened.


Good luck ^_^
