Breast Milk No Baby Posted: 10-18-05 05:23am
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??

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... Posted: 10-18-05 19:13pm
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.
