I'm going back to work and with the bubba merrily chewing on broccoli and happily taking a bottle the time has come to stop breastfeeding. Over the past two weeks I've reduced the feeds down to three a day. And then yesterday decided (after the two morning feeds) to stop cold turkey. So I stuffed my bra full of cabbage, gulped down some ibuprofen and didn't sleep all night as my boobs got more and more engorged and painful. I've had a hot shower, I've refreshed the cabbage and taken more painkillers but I'm in agony. Any idea how long this lasts for?
