Painful boobs post weaning?

Question

After 583 beautiful days of pump ">breastfeeding , my daughter successfully weaned a little over a week ago. She was only nursing once at night so my body wasn’t making very much milk for awhile now. I wasn’t concerned about clogged ducts or having discomfort during the drying process because of the small amount I was producing. However, I noticed today my boobs are really sore. Especially around my areola/nipple. Anyone else experience this? Just seems odd that now over a week later I would be sore out of no where. 😩

Answer

My son weaned himself at 16 months, we were also down to one feeding before bed. I have had feelings of fullness/discomfort and sensitive nipples intermittently since we stopped. It’s weird, I agree. But it’s not just you!

Answer

Any advice for weaning ? My son is not trying to get off my boobs he cries for hours
