Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi ladies I have been gone for about a month. Taking care of the wee one is such a treat and I cannot bear too much time away. Especially since I have to go back to work next week. BUT now I have had to wean him - actaully I went cold turkey - off the breast. He is doing great and actaully seems to be better with formula - less gas, sleeping better, etc. So any tips on helpign to reduce engorgement and the pain (oh that pain is bad). This is day three of weaning. Any ideas are welcomed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Maybe a hot shower or hot towels and sleep with your regular bra on, not the comfy nursing one. Massage is important so that you don't develop a blocked duct, but at the same time you don't want to massage so much that you cause a huge let-down. HTH!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 If you are wanting to dry up your milk, the best advice I have, and did it the last time I was pregnant, was to take a couple of cabble leaves and put them into my bra. My milk was gone within 24 hours. I don't know why this works, but it does. Niki engorgement Hi ladies I have been gone for about a month.
