Breast Milk question

My little Emma was finally born at 39weeks on Feb 18th via csection. Very scary....my water broke at 1:00am and went straight to hospital. She was born at 240pm.

Don't stimulate your breast in any way, not even when you shower. It will dry up in a few days.

I've heard the cabbage thing too. I've also heard wrapping your breasts tight and ice packs. And dontnlet your breasts hit hot water, that will just get the milk flowing.

Thank u ladies. I heard about the cabbage as well recently. I will try it. Not alot leaks oit but its unfomfortable. Ive had to pump a few times to get it out cuz its so painful. But u guys are right. Just not to pump. Lol

Cabbage didnt work at all for me lol just made me smell very grosse!! There's not really anything you can do to make it hurry and dry up :/ just gotta suffer it out.....

I second the cabbage suggestion. I don't know why, but it works.

My cousin put ice on hers and that did the trick. Congratulations on your baby and best wishes!

Just don't feed. It'll dry up in its own. If you try to pump, it'll just tell your body to make more. Do nothing :)

Oops. I posted before i posyed my question..... my question is how do you stop or dry up your breast milk. Its been a week and i barelystarted producing milk. I really dont want to breastfeed at all. I have my reasons. And the lactation specialist agreed. She has been on formula since day one. What can i do to dry my milk???
