Stopping breast milk production
Hi all, baby boy was born Wednesday 13th, I tried breast feeding for two days but it didn’t work out for us and we are both happier on formula.
But my breasts are getting so full, heavy and sore. I can’t express as I don’t want to encourage milk production. But does anyone have any tips to help stop the production and ease the pain?

Just cold compression and no stimulating as some full milk sometimes doesn't come in till day 5
Wearing cabbage leaves in your bra helps too. Clean it, seperate the leaves, put them in the freezer if you want x
Hand express when uncomfortable until its not :)
Wearing a tight bra too, doesn’t have to be wired but that helped mine! x
My MIL said dark green cabbage leaves is meant to help but I'm not sure how effective it actually is 😆

Unfortunately there is nothing u can do... breast pads, paracetamol or ibuprofen. Also cold stuff on them xx
