Help 😩

Can anyone please advice or help me! I have stopped breastfeeding (gradually over a week period) the last time I fed was 4 days ago and I’m in so much pain! My boobs are engorged but I don’t seem to have any symptoms of mastitis other than the pain making me feel sick! Is this normal? I have tried hand expressing a little bit but I think the ducts are blocked as nothing is coming out

I have just gone through the exact same thing, I used ice in a flannel to ease the pain along with cabbage leaves in a tight bra. After 2 days the pain completely went xx

I had the same problem too i use lansinoh

I used a manual pump only to let out milk to a comfortable amount while in the shower daily just to stop the pain. I haven’t done this for like 4.5 months now. I still have milk but it’s not causing me to be engorged x

Cold cabbage leaves in your bra, when they warm up change them- they smell and it sounds so weird but it does work

Let hot water from shower run onto you boobs and massage them , I found that one of them period heating pad thing that vibrate is really good I used it when I couldn’t touch my boobs with how sore they was and the vibration worked really well , sudafen is meant to work also I used Cabbage leaves , break the spine and leave in fridge till you need them change every night and pump a little to relieve pain the first week is really hard but your doing amazing keep going mamma

Thank you all so much! I never knew it would be this painful 😭
