Not dried up?

Question

Hey mamas! So at 3 1/2 months I had to switch my son to prescription formula which was about 6 weeks ago. I was pump ">pumping only once a day and storing it but I only did that for about 10 days. So I haven’t pumped or anything in about a month. So my question is: How long does it take to completely dry up? I can still squeeze my nipples and get drops and I leak sometimes. I had a really easy time stopping with pump ">pumping . No pain, no clogged ducts or mastitis so I didn’t feel the need to use anything like cabbage leaves or any other form of herbal remedies. Do I NEED to so those things to dry up? Or will it happen on its own? TIA!

Answer

Some women leak or can squeeze their nipples and still produce milk months and even years after breastfeeding/ pumping.
