When trying to dry your milk up....did you leak a lot?

I am leaking like crazy!! Luckily, with ibprofren and cabbage leaves, engorgement is over.

is the leaking their way of empting?

all of my lumps except for 1 are gone.

way easier then I thought it would be physically....hormonally I was a huge mess!!!!!!!!!

so not a crier-did not cry at my wedding, or his birth...I don't cry at the thought of him, but since Thursay, I can cry on que!!!

Re: When trying to dry your milk up....did you leak a lot?

I didn't have any leaking, but then again, I never had the supply that you had. Glad to hear you're feeling OK though

Awww- so he's officially weaned?

Janice- as a HUGE pro-BFing mommy I want you to know that YOU are my hero!!!

I'm not there yet but wanted to offer
Honestly? I don't think I can do it. I AM a crier so I can't imagine how unstable I'll be. I really hope you feel better.

Don't have any advice, but I know I've told you before, you are my inspiration with breastfeeding! I also wish I had the supply you have! Congrats to you on a job well done and a beautiful, healthy, breastfed baby

Re: When trying to dry your milk up....did you leak a lot?

awwww thanks

ITs bittersweet. my goal was 2 years...but I just did not feel healthy anymore.

He has never slept past 6:30 AM...now he sleeps till 8:30.

So I am up before him, ready to throw him in stroller where he eats breakfast on our walk.

I hope leaking is a good sign.

I am soooooo emotional though. I did not expect it. I am happy, drained, anxious over getting another breast infection, tired, sad...all over the place.

Leo has been great. We went down to savannah yesterday so that josh was occupied and could not ask for it...that's what hurts. telling him no to something I am capable of doing. it makes me feel selfish.

Leo is now very attracted and into me, which should make me happy...but total opposite. He says after pregnancy and nursing, he finally sees me as just his wife again-which was a stupid thing to say since we are going to have more kids. so that gets me emotional.

yes i leaked alot when i was drying up my milk and they were hard and i mean hard as a rock it took about two weeks for that to go away.

Re: When trying to dry your milk up....did you leak a lot?

Don't feel selfish! I know it's easier said than done. I want to start weaning dd as I have to go back to work in Sept. and I don't even know where to start. How do I wean a baby that REFUSES to be weaned? She went on a hunger strike 2 weeks ago and it was terrible. My supply deminished and I had to take fenugreek. Now I'm back to normal (I think) but all those stories about babies sleeping are so enticing. Sorry to hijack!

with DD I didn't leak and it only lasted a few days.

with DS it's taking forever and I'm leaking.
