I have stopped breastfeeding (for personal reasons). I stopped pumping about 3 days ago...I weaned myself off till I was only getting a little less than an ounce from both. I am not leaking or anything but my breast have lumps that almost feel like rocks! How do I get rid of them? Should I continue to pump? Or how should I approach this...has anyone dealt with this issue?

@nicole_jude, any constipation ?? I'm worried about that
I started alternating feedings. First was breast, next formula. But that was just because I had a stash and she was going through it rapidly and I was just drying up. She transitioned pretty well. @christy0128
you should be fine with a little leaking...pumping and nursing makes the most milk
hand expressing doesn't encourage more production. so leaking is okay. if you get flu like symptoms you need to be seen by a Dr quickly especially not nursing
yes its fine, that's the only way your milk will dry up. rubbing it once in the morning and at night isn't going to make your supply go up as if you were feeding the baby which would've been and multiple times a day, every few hours.
@kelseys, @mommy_1115 -- is it okay if I leak when massaging? I don't want to encourage more production
hot/warm shower and rub them while your in there, and do it after you get out before getting dressed.
yes i had huge lumps when i came home with my daughter...i just kept massaging them and using hot towels. they will go away
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Question, if a baby gets up at night and cries and does not stop should you give them Tylenol so they stop? Someone I know thinks you should do this. 🙄
How many boxes of newborn diapers should I get?.
Do you really think the way you are raised
Has no impact on when and how you decide to have sex? I read a comment on another thread that really rubbed me the wrong way. Something about how teens have sex and there's just no stopping it no matter how you raise them.
I really want to exclusively breast feed.. my baby doesn't latch well an i can't pump more than 4 oz a day. I was to stop using formula but I have no idea how to increase my supply no matter how many times I power pump, put baby to breast, pump every 2 hours. my supply never increases as a fact it's dropped I'm barely getting 2 oz a day now :'( I feel like my body is failing me
@christy0128, she's only been on strictly formula for three days and so far so good!
