breast milk

Never thought of this till now, what are you suppose to do with breast milk if you don't breast feed??? Does it go away on it's own?

I hear if you decided not to breastfeed your doctor will prescribe you pills that make the milk go away.

I used ice packs they gave at hospital. Use a tight fit bra. it was painful but if memory serves correctly it only lasted 3-4 day after I was discharged

It will dry up in around 10 days,if you buy a cabbage now and put it in the freezer and use the cabbage leaves in your bra after it will help..i found it so very painful til my milk dried up but the cabbage really does help

If u dont use it from the beginning you wont have much and itll dry up over the first week or 2. But if u actually breastfeed then itll take a few weeks for it all to dry up
