does anyone have tips on how to get rid of your milk supply? I have cabbage in my bra now and have avoided letting water directly hit my boobs in the shower. they are leaking so bad that I had to cut a maxi pad in half and put that in my bra too so it wouldn't leak out all over my shirts and ruin my bras. I really hope that I don't get mastitis because I'm in a lot of pain now.
wrap your boobs suppppppper tight with a band or and ace bandage , the hospital gave me this band cause I seriously couldn't breath I had so much milk .
I wasn't told anything about a shot, they've basically just told me that my milk would dry up within about a week or 2 and that there wasn't really anything I could do
there's should be a shot they can give you to dry it up. I know my sister got it before leaving the hospital since she wasn't going to breastfeed at all.
I went to the doctor yesterday and asked about those pills, he says that they stopped making them like 20 years ago because they increased your risk of having a stroke
I would call your Dr they have meds that you can take that will dry your supply up. I just don't know what they are called or anything else about thw.
thank you for the advice, I wish I could donate my milk but because of the medications I was prescribed after delivery I can't. I was also told not to pump at all because it would make my body think it needed to make more milk.
I've been wearing a sports bra, but I put a bandeau top over it so that it holds the cabbage and maxi pad close enough to catch the milk
