Pump or else you’ll get an infection or your milk will dry up.

An infection? OMG I just got a painful flash back to when I had a milk blister

I just recently had a milk blister and it was awful! I’m so glad it’s gone now. Yes an infection, you could get a clogged duct and that’ll cause infection.

when I had mine nursing would make me cry so I had to hand Express and gently pump till it went away. An infection is the very last thing I need towards the end of this journey tho

You risk losing your supply if you don't pump. Milk is a supply and demand thing. If your body thinks your baby needs less, its going to start making less.

@dankerson When I was weaning, I would pump for like 2 or 3 minutes a few times a day to get a little relief. I slowly decreased how often I would do that in a day, and it worked like a charm. After about 2 to 3 weeks I was producing nada and all was back to normal.

that's so smart. I'd do that if I didn't hate the pump so much. I was mostly pumping for a long time and I don't miss it at all. Going to have to just suck it up cos I don't want an infection

pumping is seriously so time-consuming. I get it. Good luck. It will be over soon!

Your milk WILL start to decrease if you just leave your boobs like that @dankerson

At this point that's a good thing, she's weaning it just hurts so bad

bind your boobs tightly, put hot or cold compressions on them, take a hot shower and hand express 💕 this all worked for me when I gave birth to my daughter, my milk came in 2 days after I lost her, took 2 weeks of excruciating pain but it's over for now😊

I also pumped but I pumped for about 15 minutes got more than 5oz for a few days and then I started pumping 10 minutes getting 3oz for a few days and I went down to 5 minutes pumping 1 oz for a few days and then I just completely stopped pumping, no more milk to be produced

Is there anything I can do besides pump? I haven't pumped in months and honestly I'm to lazy to go find it, clean the parts and sit there and pump milk that she won't drink. I just wanna nap tbh

Take a hot shower and hand express some of the milk for some relief.

If they are rock hard you can get mistitis I got it after missing 2 feeding sessions I almost had to be hospitalized

Wow that sucks. How did they treat you? Usually I can go a 2-3 days with her being over there no problem but this time I filled up much faster than usual.

I was given heavy antibiotics in the hospital they wanted to keep me over night because my fever was almost 105 but I refused to stay so they gave me hella antibiotics and sent me home
