I am looking for ways to dry up my supply. My baby is about to hit four months and there has been nothing but blood (literally), sweat and tears. I have made the absolute heartbreaking decision to quit. I just can't do it anymore. What are some ways you mamas tried to help with the engorgement when trying to dry up? I am not looking for judgement. I have had a very difficult time with breastfeeding and feel it's time for me just to enjoy my daughter.

I would take a warm shower and just with my hands squeeze on my boobs till I feel comfortable and won't hurt and in like a couple days I didn't have milk anymore
@their.bomb.ass.mom, I heard the cabbage leaf theory too. I heard putting in your bra. But someone I spoke to said to eat cabbage. She said she ate it till she was sick and it worked! I don't know if I wanna go that route! Thanks for your response 😊
also I was told not to express any milk as this will make your body produce more.
for both babies I have worn a tight sports bra with breast pads to help any leaking and took ibuprofen every 4 hours. any anti inflammatory type medication will do it though. took a few days, but with my first it dried up in about 4-5 days, I'm still in the process of drying it up this time. I've heard cabbage leaves help too? may have to Google that one I haven't tried it.
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
same here. my breasts were engorged! I would leak, and I'd massage the lumps down every few hours. get in a warm shower and just let the milk leak. I stopped feeding cold turkey. it took about 3 days to get my breasts back to normal. and to this day, I still have milk. small supply but it's still there
