Breast engorgement after weaning newborn from a year of breastfeeding?
I breastfed my daughter for a year and I am weaning her right now. I've gone almost 3 days without nursing and my breasts are causing me seriously of pain. If anything even brushes up against them I get the worst shooting pains. I can't sleep on either sides. It even hurts when I lay on my wager on. Last night my daughter woke up in the middle of the night and I rocked her. She laid her boss on my chest and I felt like I was going to leave behind out from the pain. Later on in the morning I woke up nauseous and vomited. I be just looking for advice from anyone who's been through this back. Any tips to relieve some pain? I've tried ace bandages, ice pack, and ibuprofen. Also, is this normal? Thanks
I know exactly what you are talking about and I know the pain is horrible. Nothing I did really help my dr use to give out pill that would dry up your milk pretty fast so you did'nt have to be in motion through the pain but they stopped doing that. Call your dr and see if they have the medication at your practice other than that the dr merely told me to put cold cabbage leaves in my bra. Nothing really helped I think ill-fatedly you might just have to wait it out it should simply be a few more days. Good luck!
Are you quitting suddenly?
I would suggest weaning gradually, dropping just one feed a week, starting near the lunch time feed, then a week later also drop the dinner time nurture, until all you are left with is the bed-time nurture, by which time you milk supply will have dwindled to almost nothing.
Don't suddenly stop breast-feeding - you will be in discomfort!
Answers: If you stopped slowly at 1yr this sounds like more than typical engorgemennt to me. I suggest you call your doctor because you can attain mastitis while weaning. that is an infection and it causes more extreme pain. At lowest it is something to get checked out. Source(s): I really am no expert on this, but several women in my mom's club had this take place to them and it is worth seeing if you can be treated more precisely.
have you tried cold cabbage? put them inside your bra.
