Ouch!!!

So I stopped breastfeeding this weekend. We were down to one session a night and this weekend we just stopped, it wasn't planned, but it is what it is! It has been 4 days and the pain today is horrible! I am wearing the tightest bra I have, but it isn't helping. I can feel they are starting to get engorged! Any ideas? I don't think pumping is a good idea right?

  • Warm washcloth?  That's what helped when I was engorged in the beginning.  And if it were really painful, I would totally hand express a little (not a lot and not pumping) to get some relief.

    This. I would also do Tylenol or other pain relievers. N is daytime weaned and I was super sore for a couple of days...A warm shower/bath and expressing a little milk should help ease the pain.

    I will definitely try this! I need some relief but pumping will just cause the milk to keep coming in! I am hoping it passes quickly because I am a big baby and this hurts!
