Stopped breastfeeding - sore

I stopped breastfeeding last Monday and one of my boobs is quite sore and hard still, I have tried expressing a bit but it doesn’t seem to be helping 😅 Is there anything I can do to make it more comfortable or dry my milk up quicker?

i didn’t cold turkey stop, i think that helped a lot. we went from 7 breastfeeds to about 3 a day for a few days, then just in the mornings. you may just have blocked ducts from not feeding for so long x

@Eli we moved down to one feed a day for about a week before I stopped not sure if it helped, do you know how to unblock it if it’s a blocked duct?

Definitely try a haaka

a lot of massaging, hot showers and honestly… not stressing about it😭😩easier said than done ik… if things don’t help soon i’d definitely talk to hv/gp because ik how uncomfortable it can get x
