stopping bfing and pain

I stopped on Monday. Last night and this morning I am in so much pain in my breasts. More on the right than the left. They are like rocks and I am so uncomfortable. I know I have to wear a tight bra and use warm compresses. Any other suggestions to help get through this?

when i needed to decrease my supply one book suggested cabbage leaves in the bra. it really worked!

I was actually told to use cold compresses and not warm. My dr. said warm stimulates milk production.

dont let water hit the boobs in the shower

WRAP yourself with ACE bandages...very tightly!!!

Thanks everyone. I am dying. I didn't even think that the warm would make it worse. I am getting cabbage and ace wraps ASAP.

Cabbage leaves, definitely! It was the only relief I had, as long as you don't mind smelling like sour kraut...

Seriously, stick them in the cups of your bras, make holes for your nips to poke through. Change them once they reach room temperature with fresh cold leaves. It really does help with the pain and with drying up the milk for some reason.
