When does engorgement decrease?

Question

I’m 10 days postpartum and noticed yesterday that my breast engorgement had seriously decreased. I just want to make sure what I’m experiencing is normal. When did everyone else’s milk supply regulate?

Answer

It’s different for every woman.

Answer

It usually takes 3 to 4 months for your supply to regulate.  
What you are experiencing may very well be a temporary reprieve.  Your baby will go through the next growth spurt around 2 weeks...so you may have engorgement again after your supply adjusts to the baby’s demand.

Answer

Mine went away after about a week. My lo is 3 months and I am still breastfeeding. Have never had any problems with supply. Even if your boobs don’t feel engorged anymore you are still making enough milk don’t worry!

Answer

My LO is almost 19 months and there are still random days when I’m engorged.

Answer

Just wait until the first time the baby sleeps for a long period or really anytime after that for a while before you have a real routine...don’t stress the first round of engorgement goes down quickly, just feed on demand and your baby will work with your body to regulate supply
