I recently gave birth a couple of days ago and was told that my baby was a stillbirth. I was wondering when or how can my body stop producing milk for a baby that I don't have now?

i sorry to hear of your loss but the milk sould go on its own , u can also start the pill to help it go to but u can get a bit of pain if u do see your dr right away cos u could get or have wats called mastitis ( red bloches hard and very painful ) these are the syptoms

A really tight sports bra can help too. Also try cold cabbage leaves. I don't know why but they help too. Either way you are in for an uncomfortable week or so. I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
