Hi, I breastfed for 5 days before swapping to formula. How long until my milk dries?

It varies but it can a few weeks to settle Completely. Can be painful first few days but settles down, however if you are expressing you will keep on producing.

As long as you don't stimulate your breasts with hot showers and touching them should go away in about 3 months or so mine did and I breastfed for 3-4 days
