MY BREASTS ARE STILL SORE , CABBAGE NOT WORKING 😢😢

It’s going to take a couple months

Are they hard and full?

Massage!!

@kambam, yesssss

@thequeen, ugh 😰

Keep icing them and get some peppermint or sage tea. Other people say cough medicine will dry you but that would just make me puke personally lol

@kambam, I have to do something because they do big & swollen & they hurt so bad

@kambam, first time mom , I don’t know what to do

If you have access to a certified lactation specialist, I strongly urge you to visit them or get in contact asap. They can help you dry your milk without risking mastitis or other infection. Until you see a professional you can keep ice and hand express some milk out if you need to

Keep using the cabbage leaves and also massaging and hand expressing some in a nice warm shower can give you some relief too. Are you opting out of breastfeeding? No judgement if so, I didn't with my daughter, and only did a few times with our son. But either way that can give you relief, that or get a hand pump, and only pump when they get to hurting real bad, and wear a tight Bra with the cabbage leaves and breast pads!

@aaliyah-and-rodez-the-2nds-mama, thank you so much , I’m happy I can come on this app & get help because I’m just a first time mom & I really don’t know anything

@michellecolbert92 huni I've been there, I was in your shoes a lil over 3 years ago, and believe me, you're more than welcome sweetie! Motherhood is beautiful, but can also be a pain in the ass lol ijs hahaha

@michellecolbert92 does daddy help?

@aaliyah-and-rodez-the-2nds-mama, fat as money wise yeah . But anything else HELL NAW

@michellecolbert92 are you still with babies daddy, if that's not too personal to ask?

- It took your body nine months to be able to make milk for your baby, it won’t just go away in a week or two. 💪🏻 It’s painful, but you can handle it. Cabbage leaves make a huge difference 🙌🏻 definitely call lactation. You can even just call your local hospital and ask for them or maybe even just maternity.

@aaliyah-and-rodez-the-2nds-mama, no Ma’am , he just does for his daughter that’s it , but sometimes he call his self trying to have his cake & eat it too

@michellecolbert92 oh hell TF nah... It Don't work like that....
