My boobs are going to explode. Stopping breastfeeding/pumping is painful.

see if there are milk banks near you.... I'm sure they would love to have it

@sarahdrew, I have 100+ oz in the freezer I'm trying to donate so it doesn't waste

4 weeks is still good.... then yep do the slowly decrease pumping and the cabbage helps too... and the antihistamines.... I found out the hard way they dry the milk up

@sarahdrew, stop completely. He can't drink my milk anymore :(. I only got to use breast milk for 4 weeks :)

I have read that too, just slowly decrease it... are you wanting to completely quit pumping/breastfeeding or just lessen your supply?

I read a post that suggested stepping down the number of times you pump slowly and decreasing the amount of time. So I was pumping 4 times a day for 15-20 min. Today I did 2 for 10 each. It hurt but I need to step down my supply. I was pumping over 35 oz a day. Ouch. @alexzandrea @sarahdrew

If you have really tight sports bras that will help to dry up your milk!

you are welcome

Thank u @sarahdrew

cold cabbage leaves in your bra, don't let hot water run on them in the shower.... also antihistamines (benadryl, allergy meds) and med that dry up sinuses (Sudafed etc) will help dry up your milk.... I've also heard of women wrapping an ace bandage around their chest, not sure if that works
