Weaning pumping

If you don't want to do cabbage leaves, there is Cabo Cream which has worked well for me but it's a little pricey.
I’ve just gone cold turkey. Currently hour 18 🤣🥲 my friend who’s a midwife said cut down pumping time, then drop a pump etc but I couldn’t be bothered
@Ellie are your boobs not like rocks?! 🤣
@Emily they hurt more through the night but they’re not too bad today! 🤣 just keep jumping in the shower for relief
@Ellie I have to pump like 4 hourly or they will literally explode!!! So scared to get mastitis 🥲
you could try cutting down the amount of time you are pumping. It's all about supply and demand, so your boobs need to know they demand is less. Well done for doing it exclusively for 5 weeks, that is such a commitment. I hated pumping
@Emily I was pumping every 3, it’s hard, I’ve had mastitis and it went away after 24h
Cold compress, slow down the pumping slowly from every 2 hours to every 3 to 4 to 5 etc. i also hear putting cabbage leaves on them helps!
