Message:

Jacob had his last feed on Sunday @18 months. I went cold turkey in spite of him feedig 3+ times per day as he was just a boob-aholic.

I haven't leaked at all, I have felt 'full' twice but both times I tried to express with an avent manual pump I got less than 1oz.

I am desperate to go and buy myself a couple of new underwired bras but I am so scared of getting mastitis again. I went back into my old underwires a few months ago and had the worst mastitits I've ever had. But after 2+ years in maternity and nursing bras I'm longing for something pretty and supportive. 

How long should I leave it?

Also I was expecting my big boobs to deflate into a couple of spaniels ears but so far they are still huge. Is this a sign that they're still milky?
