good luck happy sad.I hope since you aere going to a specialist unit that they may be experienced in drying up milk if necessary and at least have spare pads if you run out.
thinking of you.

I dont know if Andrews is exactly the same. I sent hubby to a real chemist and he came back with brown bottle actually labelled Epsom Salts. Probably cheaper too.

I bottlefed and did not leak at all - so just take your freebies just in case.

Epsom salts worked for me (I think I took Andrews) you could probly google it to find out if its the same. Beware it might upset tum a bit.
I think using strips of towels or flannels is an excellent idea when you use up pads.
I remember reading that i would need to'tightly bind a towel around the breasts'. Sounds archaeic now, it was only 18 years ago!.
Second son i never breast feed an no milk ever arrived!
Very. very best wishes

never heard of swallowing epsom salts, but putting them in the bath is supposed to draw out excess water from your body, so if you put a solution onto your breasts i suppose that might work in the same way as cabbage leaves, but cabbage leaves would be easier.
