how long does it take for it to dry out? I'm a first time mom & I pumped for the first 2weeks but not a lot came out.

It took mine about 9mon for them to completely dry out and I had only breast feed my son for about 2-3weeks. Yeah it was pretty annoying. Now I'm 36wks with my little girl and planning on formula feeding again so I hope it doesn't take that long to dry out this time.
