Or do I just forever have milk production whenever needed?

I was still having a little bit of milk almost a full year after stopping. But my breasts were no longer becoming engorged within the first week

For me it was about 3 weeks or so, but I know it varies greatly from person to person.

I breastfed my second for 11 months, stopped before he turned 1 in May, still get a little milk if I squeeze. The only time I’ve fully stopped is when I was pregnant with my second and stopped breastfeeding my first around half way through my pregnancy, then a week later I was dry. Couldn’t even collect any colostrum full term (didn’t impact my ability to breastfeed)

I only got 9 months but dried up within a week.

I stopped after 15 months and it took 21 days for my milk to stop x

Mine dried up as soon I stopped breastfeeding and pumping. I never felt engorged

I drank No More Milk Tea, Peppermint Tea and Sage tea, on top of taking Sudafed to help it dry up fast. It took about 2 full weeks. I also wore a really tight sports bra.

I could still get a few drops up to 9 or 10ish months after we stopped. I exclusively breastfed for about 14 months.
