HELP: I have to let my milk dry up cause unfortunately I just found out my son is lactose intolerant so I have to put him on soy formula well today is my first day of not pumping and my boobs HURT!!! What can I do to help the pain go away??? And how can I get the milk to dry up faster?
yall I need help! what can I do to produce more milk?? I feel like my milk is drying up! :-(
Trying to dry my breast milk up but I'm engorged and hurting what can I do to help the process?
What will help dry up my milk supply quicker? Or any advice??
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. Deff thankful for my family atm. I will start to do eBay too . I have stuff i can sell... anything to help out alittle help my husband ... whatever i can do.
I'm wanting to breastfeed my daughter, but I don't want my milk to dry up, what can I do to keep my supply up or do right now before I have her, my colostrum has already come in......

Express only until they dont feel as bad or cold compresses. Wear cold cabbage leaves in your bra and and replace when they get warm Dont get them hot in the shower. Sage and peppermint tea can help dry up the milk.

I dampened a bath towel and froze it and then put it across my chest. Idk if it really did anything though, but I felt better

@dawnrose @morganmommy79 everytime he drank my breastmilk like 5 mins after he would be in so much pain so the doctor said since my 2 yr only could take soy formula he was probably the same way so I tried the soy formula n he hasn't had any crying spells after eating

@klp16 @kambam thank u ladies

aww thanks for responding... hope your boobs feel better... you probably could pump a couple times a day and slow down to not pumping until your milk dries up. you can donate the milk you do pump.

You don't have to dry up. Just take something to help digestion with milk or go lactose free yourself. Oh and boys shouldn't have soy. It can actually give them female parts(boobs i guess,gynocomastia).

@shellymakuk93, my dr said the same thing that too much soy will cause man boobs but maybe the formula is a little different.

@dawnrose ur welcome...the doctor actually just called me back n said to alternate between breastmilk n formula because the breast milk has so much good nutrition

You might try cutting dairy from your diet.
