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.

    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.

    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:

    Yes a well fitting bra day and night and lots of pain killers - ibuprofen and paracetamol x
    I 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.
