Tip for stopping breastfeeding please...

My son wont latch anymore so I am switching to formlua. However, my boobs are incredibly sore and leak quite a bit. Any experienced moms I could really use any helpful tips, also how long until they will stop leaking and hurting?

I agree...wrap an ace bandagge around them tight and put a sports bra over it. Warm showers can help ease if its painful

I didn't breastfeed but too dry up my milk when it came in I just used a really tight sports bra..but you might want to wrap them up tight with an ace bandage and then put a tight sports bra over that..I've also heard cabbage on the breast will dry up milk..good luck!!
