AHHHHHHHHHH...the babies are leaving, and I haven't gotten over to see them yet! E-mail me, and maybe we can get together before Friday. Or, maybe I shouldn't see them, I might want to take them all home with me. When I sold my twins, I just let them leave, and Mama dried up. Yes, as Dalice said I felt terrible doing it. I too breastfed four, and know the pain, but Emma didn't seem bothered by it. I had no other solution, as I wasn't milking her, and she gave me that "don't even think of touching my udders", when I tried. I know that when the milk starts to build up, that their bodies produce a hormone that will stop milk production.
