Are you wearing a good breast pad???? Are you breast feeding/ weaning/ pregnant...... Sorry........

Oh I know how you feel, mine leak out of nowhere and then stop and come back, it sucks. And I can't wear a breast pad because I don't wear a bra, and I dont wear a bra because my ribs are sore.

Have you had your bras fitted properly recently, because that may aleviate some of the discomfort of wearing a bra in late pregnancy...... And dont wear underwire bras.......

Its gunna do it for a while babe its the same cause/effect as an abortion... But wait it out and it will pass... Go buy some breast pads muah

Hi kia,
yup breast pads.. And try not to touch the nipples cos that will just stimulate more milk... When I lost my baby and got very engorged with milk I got antibiotics from my dr cos I started to get infections, so that might be worthwhile just as a preventative thing if u start getting hot red spots... I also found that a warm shower and bending over and smoothing my hand down the sides and top and up the underneath of each boob (avoiding the nipple) helped drain some excess milk out very gently. They continued to leak for 2 1/2 weeks but after a week most of the engorgement had gone down... So only a few days to go and you'll start feeling much better I bet.
So sorry you've had to go thru all this kia.. So very sad for you.. So sorry you're suffering

Also try cabbage leaves, they help reduce the milk and cool the breast..... You can get a medication from your doctor that will speed up the process..... I am so sorry for you loss..... I know how you feel.........

when you begin to feel the tingly sensation of milk let-down, apply firm pressure to your breasts by crossing your arms over your chest and hugging yourself. You can also use the base of the palm of your hands to press over the nipple. If you're sitting at a table, cup your chin in your hands and press your forearms into your breasts.

> use cloth nursing pads instead of disposables, which have been linked to breastfeeding problems. Their plastic lining, while keeping clothing dry, keeps the areola damp, exacerbating nipple soreness and fungal infections such as candida (also known as thrush). You can make your own nursing pads from cut-up cloth diapers. If you're breastfeeding at home, keep a cloth diaper nearby to soak up milk from the leaking breast and save your pads for outings.

> wear clothing that camouflages wetness. Prints work well. Or carry a jacket or sweater that you can put on quickly if you notice your breasts leaking.

Kristen where did you read about applying pressure?

Hi kia and jess,
i wasnt talking about squeezing the milk out! Just using gravity to let it drip cos it relieves the incredible pressure and my dr gave me the advice.. She also told me about smoothing ur hands along ur boobs to help open up blocked milk ducts in the spots where infection is starting.. It gets really red and hot.. It really worked tho to do all that. The pressure is so bad it feels like ur skin is going to rip so letting it drip a bit in the shower really helps take the edge off and doesnt do much to stimulate more milk. Hope that clarifies what I meant! Sorry for any misunderstanding!

Slight pressure for pain is okay but nottt alot and do not squeeze em... Trruuust me!

Mine leaked for a few weeks after acia died and the doctor eventually had to give me medication to fully stop it even though she said that it should stop within 3 weeks or so after the birth. I'm so sorry for your loss if you ever need anyone to talk to or anything just im me on aim if you have it..My name is xmikeysbabyx69, if you don't want to thats okay just know that i'm here if you ever need to even though you don't know me haha

Ok I think they stopped now.
In fact they have shrunk back to their old size, my nipples have shrunk too (they got big) and my montgomery glands have gone. My boobs feel allkinda soft and wierd but like they were before I was pregnant. Ooooooooh and my belly feels softer again suddenly too.
