PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
I gave birth September 1st, since then I've been back in the hospital more days than I've spent with my baby boy.... all because of a horrible case of full blown mastitis super infection on both breasts. I'm desperate to get home and stay home with my baby. I need to dry up this milk. My Dr says don't pump and use cold compression. Nurses say to pump and use hot compresses. I'm so don't with all the poking and iv's antibiotics. please share your natural milk stopping secrets I'll try them all .... I'm so done with breastfeeding.
Cabbage leaves in your bra will help dry up your milk. Antihistamines also work. I'm going thru mastitis in my right breast right now. I can imagine how you're feeling. I pray you get better soon.
I'd trust the nurses first.....the nurses usually know a heck of a lot more than doctors ever do hun....my mommas an rn and she says its sad how much drs really don't know about their patients
should I continue to pump? if I don't my breast get rock hard and super hot and oh so painful. ....
