OK so I haven't nursed or pumped in a few days because we'll I'm pretty much done. I'm getting some lumps and very tender to touch...should I try to get them out or just let them be? Ugh I'm not trying to get mastitis but I'm trying to dry them out. HELP!

I would leave it and wait for it to end

The easiest painless way to dry up is to ween off. Pump twice a day for a couple days to relieve the pain then do once a day till your not in pain no more. It's way easier then just letting it dry up trust me

You can also massage the lumps and tender places to help break up any clumping and relieve pain. Or have your SO do it. 😉😂

You can do warm compresses to release it but it will just fill a little more

You really really don't want mastitis. I had mastitis so bad that escalated to sepsis. My fever was 103 and my pulse was in the 140s and I was miserable

I'd suggest you do what @amaperalta03, said. Pump some for a few days and decrease as you go

wear a really tight bra( no underwire) and use some of the bigger ace wrap to put pressure on your boobs(it helps) When I was trying to dry up I would lay in the tub with a towel over my boobs to put hot compression on them. It worked wonders
