Denise says:
"Regardless of when she decides to stop breastfeeding, if she does it
'cold
turkey' she will become engorged."

Of course the mom who never puts baby to breast will experience some
engorgement as well ats the one who "only nurses for the colostrum".  I
think we need to think of those moms who never put baby to breast as
"weaning at birth" instead.  Puts a whole new light on it and
presupposes breastfeeding as the norm rather than a choice.  The choice
instead is when to interrupt the natural process (or when it ceases on
its own as in baby-led weaning) rather than an either-or choice.
