Okay I tried to breast feed joshua and did
for th first two days but then since he
wasn't able to latch on because he was so
small I switched to bottles now my milk
has come in and it hurts so bad what can I
do to get a little bit of comfort?
Tonight I took a hot bath and massaged
each breast for 15 minytes expelling milk
just so I could wear a shirt but I know I
don't want to do that if I want them to
stop hurting so wa=hat can I do that won't
keep me producing more milk?? God this is
one of the most painful things in th
world. :cry:

You can pump a little. Yeah, your milk
may hang around longer, but there's no
reason for you to be in such pain. Wear
a tight bra, like a sports bra if you have
one. Cabbage leaves, put them inside
your bra. I just stopped nursing and
when I would get engorged I would just
pump a little, or have hubby help me
(ewww, tmi, lol). I have a couple
friends that swear by the cabbage leaves.
I hope you find something that helps.
Take care!!
