I was diagnosed with a galactocele (milk cyst) shortly after the birth 
of my first baby.  I was nervous about it because my mother had just 
been diagnosed and treated for breast cancer -- but was told not to 
worry, that it was simply a "big spot" on one of my milk ducts.

I noticed that the galactocele filled up as my breast did, then became 
harder to find as my breast emptied.  By the time my baby was around 4 
months old, I could barely find it at all, as my breasts weren't 
filling to engorgement anymore.

Unless there is something unusual about the galactoceles in the mother 
you are describing, I can't imagine why she should need to wean 
because of them...but I'm interested in reading what some  more 
informed responses might suggest.
