Welp here i am with my 4 day old baby boy, extremely happy, extremely tired and very much in pain every now and then. 🌌👣💙🌙🌌
So I have a question... I am not breast feeding and just today I for the first time experienced my boobs being big and full of milk.. Thru out the pregnancy and the first 3 days my boobs where normal size with out milk... And idk what to do. Is there something besides pumping I can do? Or maybe for pain?
Ugh I'm so sorry! Peppermint essential oil is supposed to help reduce milk. You are caring for your baby and nurturing it and feeding it and it's a beautiful thing :) thank you for telling me, you didn't have to. I really appreciate your honesty :)
@cubanese It soaked my milk and all that sssooo....
@ambermento well its a mixture of a couple of things, traumatic events in my life unfortunately that i rather not go into detail of and I have all my life had very sensitive nipples and my pain got beyond worse while pregnant. And right now i am in the worse pain I ever been in. My labor was easy and im recovering extremely well... But my breast and nipples are torture.
@senisley Lol no put them in your bra and it will soak up the milk and its actually cooling
You're not breast feeding? I'm not sure what you'd do then. When I weaned my son I just kind of stopped slowly and it went away. Are they pretty firm and sore? You could always pump it and give it to him in a bottle. May I ask why you're not breastfeeding? No judgement here I'm just curious if you have any questions or are interested in what it's like let me know. Did you know when your child breast feeds your breast actually senses through his saliva what he needs and your body custom makes the breast milk for him every time. It's pretty incredible really
Welcome to the app! @cubanese is a lactation consultant. Ask her
If you don't plan to continue breast feeding don't pump it will only stimulate your body to produce more milk. Wear a tight fitting bra often to dry up. Cabbage leaves on your breasts will help with the swelling and pain. Also some tylenol could help with pain as well. For any other advice I would ask your OB or whoever you were seeing during your pregnancy

Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
How big did your boobies get?
I am normally at 34b and my boobs have gotten to a 36c so far. ? I am not prepared to have big o'bits. With my first the biggest they got were 36d and thats after my milk came in.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
