[kee27]

is this right i am 2 days in and my boobs are so tender and swollon they also have lill lumps around one of the nippels i feel fine my self no temp or flue simptons how can i stop the engorgment some one said epsomsalts any one els tried this any advice woud be so greatfull

my advice kee27 would be to hand express kust a little milk to relieve it slghtly just so you dont get too full carry on doing this and gradually they will go down good luck oh a nice warm bath can help as well

cabbage leaves

and a warm flannel over your boobs in the bath

thanka will try cabbage leaves if i exspress a little wont that stop the prosess slightley sorry to ask first time round breast feederlol

Cabbage leaves in your bra.

Do you have any sage in your garden ? if so a couple of torn leaves in hot water as adrink is supposed to help.

At 2 days you are almost over the worst of it !

the expressing will prolong things a bit, but not by much if you only express enough off to relieve the discomfort.

Ibuprofen will help as well if you are sore

kee- would you consider putting the baby to the breast? Yes, this will stimulate breastmilk production, and if you know you deffo don't want to breastfeed this might lengthen the time you produce milk. But it would relieve the pressure!

right im off to tesco to geta cabage. how long do i leave the leaves on for .no sage but could look for some thanks u all for ur help but like i say i have not done the whole stooping thing befor

any feeding or expressing will pro long the prosess slightly but its alot less uncomfortable and its better for yor body if you breasts become too full it can sometimes lead to mastitus

the thing is tiktok my baby is now 16 months heheheheh and i am having a opp monday morning which will mean i wont be abel to bf any more how i feel at the mo i would love him to drink all the build up of milk i have there lol

oh dear well good luck with the op then
hope boobs go down quickly for you

thanks mothersmilk x

Kee - I still don't understand why you have to stop completely now....how long are you in hosp. for and why does that mean you must stop totally? Sorry if I am missing some of the story!

because i am having weight loss sergrey .and my sergon has told me that i will have to be on vitmins to . and will be on a liquid dite for the first 2 weeks so i will not be eating food . so will not mk milk if u know what i mean . also i have got to the stage were i feel like i want to stop and my ds has not even aksed for it at all . which has me so guess he was ready to lol

thanks for the advice any way x x have had 3 hot baths hehe and have cabbage leaves on and i must say they feel a lot better then they did so thanks all x x

kee - totally understand if this is your choice to stop but of course you will continue to make milk, whatever diet you are on, liquid or not and to your surgeon who does not know about bf and making milk. And the milk will be fine!

Good luck with the op.

thanks hun x
