Hello everyone one! I would like to know if anyone is in the same situation or if passed by it. I breastefed my baby for 10 months, then started giving him bottles and still bf-ing also weaning, then one day to the other my baby stopped bf-ing, he would cry every time I tried to put him on the breast. He stopped now bf-ing but my milk is still flowing. Not plenty, just if I squeeze the boob milk comes out,it's been a month and I still have milk... has anyone passed by the same thing?

I would just stop wait a month and then check again if you feel the need but your breast get smaller anyways. It takes some time for the milk hormone to come down
