Please no judge mental comments here... I switched my son to formula (he's doing MUCH better on formula than he was with breast milk I'm not sure why) and I'm in the process of drying up my milk. I started taking Benadryl last night and I'm wearing a good bra 24/7. I have a pump and last night I pumped 5 minutes on each side just to relieve myself, how often should I pump tiny bit out to prevent mastitis but still dry up my milk??
my son went from breast milk to strictly formula, kudos to you hun for doing what is best for your baby. 😊 my milk dried by itself but I heard tight sports bras and no pumping works
I heard you can hand express some of the milk out instead of pumping
@mrsmord, it's where the milk duct gets blocked and you get real inflamed and sore. You also get a fever. That's the best way I know how to describe. It's very painful my mom said she got it twice with my brother.
I was always told that you can't pump and and you cant express milk, so no hot showers either. You have to trick your body into thinking your no longer in need of the milk. It hurts at first but when your milk goes down it feels amazing!
I wore a good fitting sports bra, had nursing pads in and changed them when needed, took ibuprofen every 4 hours and in a few days my milk was gone. I was told not to express any milk at all because your body will just keep producing more since it makes it seem like you're needing it. the leakage I had from changing my pads and showering was enough.
I wore a sports bra that was one size too small for like 24 hours and, voilà! No more milk. 😊
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
