Day 2 of stopping breastfeeding. Yesterday was horrific and my boobs where super engorged. I kept on going cold turkey! I took Advil all day to relieve the pain. I bought green cabbage, washed it and put in the fridge. Went to bed with some on my breasts. Definitely feeling sore before bed. This morning I took more Advil and replaced the cabbage. I have been doing this for the last couple of hours. I have to say I am still uncomfortable but I feel like they are getting better! Hopefully this can be over with by Sunday! My daughters baptism is that day. Wish me luck and if there is anymore advice let me know. Thanks ladies!
I didn't stop till my son was around 18 months of you shower and warm compress them just enough for relief it will slowly stop producing if your not feeding a lot till this day I still have leakage ever so often but it should sub side soon I forget what u can take to stop it some kind of tea leaf o believe I'm going to look
if you need to hand express some out to relieve the pressure and prevent engorging you can do that just make sure not to empty the milk from your breast because it signals it to make more.
