Still had build up for a day or so but then it went away. ]]> Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:30:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1396362&title=drying-milk-up#1396362 <![CDATA[drying milk up : I&#039;ve heard advise of not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1395047&title=drying-milk-up#1395047 Author: T_Rex

I've heard advise of not dropping more than one feed a week, so if you wanted to stop, just replace one more feed each week with formula. Not sure how old your baby is though - I think that advice was more for babies 6months plus?]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:14:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1395047&title=drying-milk-up#1395047 <![CDATA[drying milk up : you need to do it gradually, either...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1394926&title=drying-milk-up#1394926 Author: newme

you need to do it gradually, either keep feeding your bub less and less until it is gone, or pump. If you pump, only ever remove the smallest amount you can until you feel comfortable.
I took sage tea when I had a mega over-supply and that helped heaps, so worth a try too.]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 10:01:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1394926&title=drying-milk-up#1394926 <![CDATA[drying milk up : oh yea thanks. i mite try the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1394724&title=drying-milk-up#1394724 Author: Allysbelly

there is a product called Milk stop you can buy from the pharmacy which will help dry your milk up if thats that you decide is best for you and your family

 

Otherwise you could look at taking some multivitamins to help boost your immune system and make you feel a bit better. I could ask at a health shop and see if there is anything that can recommend.

I was wondering how to dry my breast milk up. i dont just want to stop as i dont wana get mastitis or blocked ducts.
but i keep getting quite sick. had a cold for a couple of weeks and constantly getting headaches.
i drink plenty of water about 5-6 750ml bottles of water a day.
i feel really bad for my little man. but hes been really unsettled and since ive been giving him top ups of formula hes more settled.]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:44:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40671&PID=1394670&title=drying-milk-up#1394670
