Hi all!

After 6 months of BF I've had enough. Although I experienced BF as very special, I think it's time to get my body back.

I gradually reduced the feedings to formula over a period of 5 weeks. Now I stopped the night feeding and my boobs are very very sore and painfull. It feels quite lumpy too. It's not mastites (had that on both boobs).

Now. Some advise says to only express when you feel the tension on your boobs and a different advise it to express untill they're empty and repeat that a few days after. I have no idea which advise is the best.... but I do want to get rid of the pain and explosive feeling LOL

What is the best thing to do?

Try a warm bath your milk will flow. Unfortunately until your body get the message it will be uncomfortable. If you express you can prolong your milk. Hope this helps
