After B Feeding - B's soooo sore

Can you guys help???
DS is now 2 years 3 months and because he was down to a dreamtime feed only I decided it was time to wean. Also he is pretty verbal - so would quite happily ask "Milky please" and afterwards pat me and say "Milky Fank oo" - soooo cute!!!!
So I was at a wedding down south last weekend and Grandma came to stay (No Mummy around to pester for milk. Grandma did a brilliant job "No Milkies, Mum's got milkies with her"
Since I gt back he's only asked a few times and I just repeat "Milkies broken" and hes been pretty cool about the whole thing.
My issue is - it feels like my breasts are gong to explode. Exactly like the day 3, milk coming in feeling you get after the baby is born.
So ladies, how long before I can bear to sleep on my front, have anyone (toddler in arms) touch them and I stop leaking??
Its been a week now - and the champagne from the weddinghas worn off LOL

Epsom salts! Although they may upset your tum for a day or so, take two teaspoons of Epsom salts in water (or you could take it in squash - might be more palatable!) for two days - works quite well!
Also firm fitting bras for a couple of days might help.0 -
Epson Salts sway the milk away I was told. Can't say if it worked, because you will obviously stop producing eventually anyway, but it's worth a go."On behalf of teachers, I'd like to dedicate this award to Michael Gove and I mean dedicate in the Anglo Saxon sense which means insert roughly into the anus of."

Epsom Salts worked for me as well, but my advice would be to stay close to the house for a day or so as I really learnt where the saying "goes like a dose of salts" came from :eek::eek::eek::eek:0

It took a good week for mine to calm down, but I guess everyone is different:rotfl:
I still remember the pain though:cool::heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
Yes a well fitting bra day and night and lots of pain killers - ibuprofen and paracetamol xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0
