Who told you that you couldn't breastfeed and why? If you have milk you should be able to nurse your baby... I'm confused.

Lol. I'm sorry. I'm a ftm and I plan on breast feeding too. I've seen my sister's experience the pain and I know I won't be laughing in a few weeks but let me make light of it while I can. I'm going to prepare to do the cabbage thing.

It will dry up but it takes a few days up to a week and it is ungodly painful. I remember with my first I couldn't BF either and taking a shower was torture. The water hitting my boobs would hurt so bad I'd end up crying....give it some time it does dry up I've never heard of anything to wrap them in to stop production... I've heard if your engorged cabbage leaves work but that's it

Really there is not much you can do buy pads for the leaking you can use ice or heat for the pain

You have to release the milk no matter if baby gets it or not. Eventually it will stop. Try nursing pads to absorb the leaking
