when I stopped breastfeeding my kids, I'd face this issue where they'd get very full. I was afraid of expressing milk to feel better too, but would express them while in taking a hot shower. It did not increase the milk supply, but gradually got lesser and lesser since I wasn't feeding my baby. I'd express just enough to feel better. Hope this helps
Definitely try cabbage leafs in a loose sports bra it relieves pain and drys up milk. Drink peppermint Or eat it it help dry up milk. You can use hot and cold rags too. But use this method sparingly as it will relive pain but the warm can stimulate milk production. I breastfed my son for 2 and 1/2 years I just weaned him in May so I just went through it. The cabbage was the ticket for me. I hope this helps
Hiya thank u. I just left them nd they drained/dried up on their own. Such a painful experience. Thank you for your advice tho. Hope ur keeping well xx
You could try pumping them (or having the baby empty them) and then binding your chest really tightly.
