Big, hard, tender, full, warm breasts but not breastfeeding

How do I dry up my milk?! It’s feeling sore and uncomfy x

Put a tight sports bra and some breast pads on, and wait it out. Try not to stimulate them in any way, and it’ll go after a few days. That’s worked for me with both of my babies. As soon as I’m out of the shower, I put my sports bra on and leave it on for the rest of the day. For the first week or so, I sleep in it too so they aren’t getting stimulated during night feeds. 😊

@Bec are yours warm too? I don’t want any infection 😫

Yeah mine were really warm! I’m two weeks PP so mine’s pretty much fully gone now, I get the odd bit of leakage but that’s it. It’s not likely they’d get infected if you try not to stimulate them and keep them bound until it dries up
