I started off with breastfeeding after birth but switched to formula. How do I cope with my breasts?…

@beanieboo I did the same I honestly just dealt with the swelling and rubbed my breath with cocoa butter an they went back to normal if you need breast pads or ice pack then use it...

how long did it take for urs to go back to normal:( @adrien5.29

I did the same after a few weeks. I pumped and slowly decreased the amount of sessions each day so I wouldn't produce as much, but it still took about a month altogether after that to stop producing milk. Warm showers help, and I've heard cabbage leaves help, but I never tried it. Massage your breasts with coconut oil to help with the pain of engorgement and wear breast pads because you're going to leak. I would leak every time my baby cried.

I dont pump I cant I get aniexty reason why I stopped breastfeeding :(

@scurlock.mommy

warm showers they said to avoid putting my boobs in the hot water? and not to give them stimulation

The warm showers is just to help with the pain, because engorgement can seriously hurt. and I totally understand! Pumping is hard work and I honestly couldn't keep up with it. I wasn't able to breastfeed because she wouldn't latch, she would just get mad and scream at my boobs lol. I got super anxious and stressed trying to figure out how to fit pumping sessions on top of everything else in life. I've never heard of anyone using ice like these ladies said, but I've heard cabbage leaves in the bra (sounds silly) works like a charm!

And don't stimulate the nipples. Just rub the coconut oil or cocoa butter on the breasts.

@beanieboo Like 2months lol
