Varies: Some women will have a small amount of milk for several years afterwards. Best thing to do is to compress the breasts with a tight sports bra and use breast pads to absorb remaining milk so the ducts compress. Avoiding breast and nipple play during sex for a couple weeks will be helpful as well.

Ait 4-6 weeks: It usually happens. Due to the constant stimulus for 2 years it will yake 4-6 weeks for the milk to dry up
