I stopped breast feeding a month ago my breasts are no longer engorged but I can still squeeze what seems like colostrum from my nipples, when will this stop???
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
Today was the day I was Able to submit my order for my free breast pump! 😍😍.
Any breastfeeding moms have weaning advice ? My almost 2 year old doesn’t want to stop and throws tantrums when I tell him no. My breast have been super sore and He’s bitting not on purpose but when he falls asleep feeding and I have to wait until I can pull away.
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
If I was too stop breastfeeding and just pump and feed with bottle would my engorged breast go down ???

@hellosweetie, also I went back to work and knew I wouldn't be able to pump

@hellosweetie, it just wasn't for me. I pumped from the get go and only put her on when my milk supply dropped but it was too difficult to do everything we wanted while breast feeding

Mine took at least 9 months I say 9 months because I am pregnant again and feel like I could be leaking colostrum now so I'm not sure

Just wondering, if it's not causing engorgement or pain, what's the big deal? This is an honest question out of curiosity, not judgement! Also, many women can still produce for a long time after they stop breastfeeding, it will go away, but in the meantime it shouldn't cause any harm! You could also continue to breastfeed your little one if you want to every once on a while, but that's your choice, just as it was your choice to stop and I'm not saying you HAVE to just because you're still producing lol just throwing it out there haha if this really is a big deal and you need to be dried up completely, you can try putting cabbage leaves in your bra, switching them out every couple hours and that's supposed to draw out the milk...? Should be gone in a few days or so, or so I've heard!
