Q: Breast Milk No Baby

How can I get my milk to dry up?? I was induced about 3 months ago and had a still born. Since then I have had breast milk. Does anyone know what I can do to dry them up??
Also, will this hurt my chances of conceiving again??

This Might Help.
Sorry about your loss, it might help to rap them up tight and I mean tight for a few days only to undo them when you shower that should dry them up and take the pain away.

Sorry for your loss! I would check with your Dr. Because their are pills he can prescribe or a pump and you can also talk to your pharmacist.

You can also talk to him (your dr) about conceiving again!

So Sorry...
That's treeible, i'm so sorry for your loss.

I would've expected milk to dry up already by now- usually, it's a suuply be demand arrangement where you stop producing it within a few days if nobody's taking it. It must be a hormonal thing.
There are some medications you can take to dry it up- it would be prescription though, so you'll have to speak to a doctor about it. In the meantime, don't pump or squeeze any out unless you are really uncomfortable, your body needs to get the message that the milk is not being used so that it will stop making it.

Once again, i'm really sorry for your loss, it breaks my heart to hear about women having their babies still born. Nature can be so cruel.
