how to stop breast feeding? tips??

[munch2369]

I only breast fed for about 3 days. I just wanted him to get the colostrum and i wanted to quit before my milk came in. I didnt plan to bf very long so i dont want to keep feeding and actually produce milk and have it be even more painful. I know to put cold packs on my boobs for 20 min 4x a day and avoid warm water on them in the shower. Any other tips??? How long should it take to quit producing considering i didnt feed for very long?

Cold green cabbage leafs.

Dont massage them cause that will just make more milk. Let them get rock hard even tho it's painful.

Try cold green cabbage leaves on your breasts. Green cabbage contains an enzyme that gets absorbed through the skin and helps dry up your milk.

I did the same for about 4 days and they say to tell your doc they will give u a pill to stop the milk. I didn't do that tho and I just let it stop took about a week or so to fully go away and it was painful.

Take any medicine with antihistamines in it cause that dries ur milk up. I took a dollar general brand allergy medicine when I weened my son when he was 1.
