Question
I'm a stay at home mom. I been breastfeeding since I gave breast. I stop feeding about three days ago. How long will it take for the milk to dry up?  How will you know when the milk is dried up?

Answer
depending on how long it has been since you have given birth, will depend on how long it takes the milk to completely go away. usually it only takes a couple weeks. you will know its gone when you can no longer express any out.

I hope that helped!
