I am in agony! Re Weaning

in June 2011 Moms
It has been a week since I last bf-ed.  We did it super gradually and everything was going great weaning wise, just a little sore.  Then there's today, I have 2 giant ping pong balls in my right boob.  Its not hot to the touch, red stripe or anything to indicate mastitis just yet.  Let's add we're on the first day of our out of state vacay, which LO is doing so awesome.  I just took some ibuprofen, but I feel like I'm going to die, my boob hurts so flippin bad.  Plus I dont want it to turn into mastitis.  What should/can I do?

    Hot water in the shower while massaging, hot compresses, take Benadryl, cabbage leaves in your bra.

    I used a diaper soaked in hot water when I had a clogged duct. Best compress ever. It stays hot for a really long time

    Lechithin!  It's a vitamin supplement you can get at any store...I found mine at Walgreens. I EP and used to get clogged ducts all the time. I swear by this stuff!  GL...they hurt sooooo bad!

    Ok, so I am a genius...I had a few beers yesterday.  Then at bed time had the crazy blocked ducts, followed your advice, and woke up soaked on the right side and noraml again!  Moral of the story, DON'T DRINK BEER WHILE WEANING!  Thanks to awesome husband who made that connection!

    LMAO!!  Anyone who doesn't believe beer increases your supply is wrong!

    Glad your back to normal...We're going to probably start the weaning process when we get back from our trip on her birthday.  I'm nervous about clogging the ducts too but I think it should be ok since we're already down to only 2-3 sessions and they don't get overly full.
