I'm happy to say that most of the pain has now gone. I now have a new respect for cabbage, and my boys are relieved that they didn't hasve to eat it and it had another purpose. I also tried expressing just a little for comfort as James suggested and between the two I think I'm well over the worst. Thanks for all the suggestions.]]> Mon, 13 Feb 2006 06:01:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27868&title=milk-drying-up#27868 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27802&title=milk-drying-up#27802 Author: Paws

Funny how they tell you not to eat cabbage while breastfeeding yet it helps you to stop breastfeeding.]]> Sun, 12 Feb 2006 14:56:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27795&title=milk-drying-up#27795 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27605&title=milk-drying-up#27605 Author: jack_&_charli

Yep, I had cabbage leaves on when I had mastitis to help ease up my oversupply and cool down the heat from the infection, and they worked 100% better than anything else I tried (and believe me after 9 days in hospital I tried everything!)]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 19:05:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27575&title=milk-drying-up#27575 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27554&title=milk-drying-up#27554 Author: AlyAyde

Of course hubby now thinks I have completely lost the plot but nevermind. thanks for all of the good suggestions.

I had some help drying up from anesthetic from an operation but after I finished feeding Arna my boobs were huge and sore so I took a hot shower and just manually "took the edge off" - thats all I ever did and its all good now...

You will get told heaps of things so just try what you want to try and good luck! ]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2006 21:19:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27452&title=milk-drying-up#27452 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27411&title=milk-drying-up#27411 Author: kasbee

I havent fed Ryan and Katelyn for a couple of weeks now and havent had any pain at all. I have heard about the whole cabbage leaves thing but never had to try it also i would have to agree with what james said maybe this will help things not being so sore.
The whole drying up process can take a whole i think i remember with Blair i still had milk months after a had finshed feeding him.
Hope the pain gets better soon. ]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2006 16:16:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27411&title=milk-drying-up#27411 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27356&title=milk-drying-up#27356 Author: daikini

The cabbage leaves thing - its the whole, raw leaves that you use... I haven't (haven't needed to), but my mum did after my sister weaned and they helped her heaps. Mum would freeze the outer leaves (the tough ones nobody likes to eat) to get them nice and cold.]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2006 10:30:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27356&title=milk-drying-up#27356 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27352&title=milk-drying-up#27352 Author: james

Not sure if cabbage leaves go with my outfit! Although they would be pre cooked for dinner. Actually not a silly idea my mother told me the same thing this morning. Might try the spray thing though, everytime I pick abby up its agony as she keeps banging me.]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2006 09:43:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27349&title=milk-drying-up#27349 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27343&title=milk-drying-up#27343 Author: nikkitheknitter

I have been weaning abby off breastmilk and was down to a night feed. She is now sleeping through so no longer needs my feeds, I will admit to being in quite a lot of pain waiting for my milk to dry up. Is there anything I can do to speed things along? Also how long will it take? It's been along time since I had this problem and oh how the mind forgets.]]> Wed, 08 Feb 2006 06:48:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1496&PID=27329&title=milk-drying-up#27329
