It took about 4 days of doing that and being in pain for them to dry up from what I remember.

Cabbage leaves in my bra and wearing tight sports bras/ binding my breasts. I’d wear a couple tight sports bras at a time. Make sure not to get them wet with warm water in the shower. Don’t express any unless necessary. I had one time while they were drying up because I was in so much pain and it helped tremendously. I Just did it that one time though.

To dry up breastmilk you ideally dont want to remove any more milk. Use cold cabbage leaves about 4x a day or more. You can rub diluted peppermint oil or sage oil on your breasts. You can drink sage and peppermint tea. If you absolutely need to remove some due to engorgement, hand express some into a container.
