FIRST TIME MOM HERE
I just had my baby 4 Days ago and I'm not breast feeding. My boobs are SUPER sore and each boobs have 2 HUGE knots in them. What am I to do? I'm freaking out here. I have a breast pump but I was told not to use it even to pump and dump only because I'm not breast feeding and I don't want the milk to continue to build up. I was also told not to run warm water on them. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
@meetthevalentines2017 I will definitely try it out though. I rather deal with the smell than deal with the pain!
@jiya lol it might. I never did it but my sister did
@meetthevalentines2017 I heard the cabbage leaves a really bad smell
@mommykai yeah I was told not to use hot or warm water. I'm thinking about using ice packs maybe that will help
Hot water will make your boobs hard as a brick and they’ll definitely leak. Try cold compress and a tight fitted bra
I took a hot shower and felt a pop and milk just ran out my boobies.
Express enough to relieve the pain, and put cabbage in your bra.
I just took warm showers. I did breastfeed for about a week though. Once I stopped, i leaked like crazy and had the knots as well that were painful. They eventually just went away and I stopped leaking.
Hand express enough to relieve, warm compress/shower, massage breasts, but don’t make a habit out of it. Even those will demand your body to make more milk, if you get a fever, pain and knots worsen, go to the ER.
@jiya I imagine it's only temporary. Plus cabbage doesn't have too much of a smell until you cook it so maybe it won't be too bad haha
