I had a baby almost 3 months ago and my milk still hasn't dried up. When I had my twins, it seemed like it was gone in no time. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get my milk to dry up faster? Thanks!

It's too bad you wouldn't put it to good use.
I am a Canadian,breastfeeding (it IS best, there is nothing even close to that nutrition and bond), co sleeping, extended rear facing (if you don't rear face to the maximum of your seat, you're NOT doing all you can to protect your child), baby wearing, Non spanking (I want my kids to respect me, not fear me) ANTI- CIO, homemade baby food making, cloth diapering, organic (chemical free household!) recycling mama to TWO! My husband is my equal and best friend, not my master and I believe basic health care should be a human RIGHT, not a privilege.
Yea...not a lot....like, the other day, I tested it and there's still, like, a lot coming out.
Quoting myfoursonsks:
Are you squeezing or anything to see if it is still there? If so, don't do that because it prolongs it.

Try to stop doing that. I know it is hard because you get curious. Avoid really warm showers. Wear tighter bras. Take sudafed like the PP said. Those are all things that can help, but sometimes it does take a long time.

She has stated more than once why she doesn't breastfeed.
If someone would really choose to NOT breastfeed because of someone on the internet, they obviously have not done their research, or never really wanted to.
Quoting myfoursonsks:
I am pro-breastfeeding, but you don't know her or why she has made her choices. Taking little jabs at people is not productive and does not make women want to breastfeed more.

Thanks. Yea, I try to not take really warm showers, but I live in KY and it gets cold! I LOVE my warm showers.

I don't remember how long it took mine.. but i think it was before 3 months.. because i was back to work after 2 months and i don't remember having leaks or anything then. Sorry i'm not much help.
Wait....what are my reasons? And what does your last statement mean? If you know my reasons so well, then your last statement is completely out of place.
