Drying my milk.
So my boobs get full. If I pump or breastfeed they will empty and will produce milk. So I just squeeze a little from each to relieve. What's gonna happen to all the Mil that's still inside? I wanna avoid mastitis.
Cabbage leaves in your bra help too! Soothing relief and also said to help dry up too.
Here is what worked really well for me... 12 hours without pumping and then I pumped until empty for two days. Then 24 hours without pumping for two days and pump until empty, then 72 hours for two days and pump until empty. Then only pump when you absolutely have to due to discomfort.
(when I say two days I mean 2 times... So every 12 hours for two days and then pump every 24 hours two times and then 72 hours 2 times (does that make sense?)
