How did you handle your milk coming in and the leaking?   When will it stop? I feel like a gaint achy water fountain.  Sad

    Never had this problem...  I had low supply.  I leaked one time and that was it.  I was sad b/c I wanted to BF, but it didn't happen for me.  Good luck!

    sports bra, ice packs, tylenol then 2 hrs later ibprofen. Caffine supposedly helps dry up so I had a mountain dew every day. I don't typically drink pop. also cabbage leaves in your bra is supposed to work.

    I had to wait it out. Bind them tight and ride it out. I was literally leaking like a cow just from gravity

    I just wore a regular bra night and day with disposable nursing pads which helped - they got sore in the shower, so watch the hot water!  I also took advil every few hours or so to help with pp pain so I'm guessing it helped with the achiness in the boobs as well.

     I would say I dried up in approx. 2 weeks after birth.

    I FF from day 1. I would say my supply went away, and I stopped leaking after about a week. The first 3 days home from the hospital were the worst because I was leaking through everything, but then it slowly went away. I wore a tight sports bra, and put cold compresses on when it hurt. Also a nice warm shower may help.
