6 days p.p. and I'm bottle feeding. my boobs are so swollen and hurt if I pump to relieve the pressure, how long or how much do I pump and will it hurt or feel relieving??
@btener014, Yeah I Want to dry them up. I heard cabbage leaves too. I might have to pick some up tomorrow and give it a try. pumping helped a little but now my nipples are sore Lol!
Do you want to dry your supply? I hear cold cabbage leaves dries the milk up
Use a warm rag & rub your boobs b4 u pump that should help a lot & don't forget nipple cream after each feeding/ pumping
@mmora, I only got some out of My right breast, none from my left. well one boob feels a little better. I guess I'll try again in a couple hours
I have found that pumping for a minute relieves the pressure petty quickly :) and ya try using your hand if the pump hurts too bad
@mdomke22, I'm Bout to do it. hurts so bad I can hold my baby on my chest to burp him
Yea, my boobs hurt sooooo bad when my milk first came in. It's been 5 weeks now and my nipples still are sore. I recommend taking Tylenol 30 minutes before pumping to ease the pain :)
