Question
i just resently stoped breastfeeding my 1 year old and my breast is like a rock but it leakes mike through out the day is that normal? will it take longer to dry up? my baby always only feed from one breast are they going to be the same size after words?

Answer
It is normal to have the milk build up after you wean. Did you stop suddenly or did you wean one feeding at a time? its often easier to do it slowly over time, not all at once. You can do it that way but you end up with the problem that you have and it takes longer to dry up.  As far as whether or not they are going to be the same size? Usually, yes. However, breasts suprise me sometimes :) so I cannot guarantee that :(

I hope that helped!
