How long after I quit breastfeeding can I expect my boobs to deflate?
I am on the 4th day of trying to dry myself up. I am still pretty engorged, but breastfeeding has made my boobs ginormous. For the BTDT moms - how long did it take your boobs to decrease in size after you quit bf'ing?

I don't really remember, but it didn't take long. Maybe a week-10 days?

I am still BFing but read a thread on that a while ago. Several moms reduced the feeding/pumping each day. It took them about 2 weeks.

I read somewhere if you rap your boobies in cabbage leaves and ace bandage and take a shower the milk will drain fast!
