You can also pump a little or hand express to make yourself more comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2005022 Thu, 01 Jan 2015 08:19:38 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2005022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Earth Mama makes "No More Milk" tea (it's listed on the side of the box of my "Make More Milk!" tea). Cabbage leaves are the classic home remedy as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004879 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 22:12:42 +0000 blackbird 2004879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took sudafed a couple days alinh with ibuprofen and packs. It was actually easier once I went back to work because I didn't have a baby kicking at them and making them hurt more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004870 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 22:04:12 +0000 singingbee 2004870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: I'm glad! We were down to nursing in the morning and at night when we weaned. It was too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004858 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:47:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2004858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: That's great help, thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004855 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:46:43 +0000 singingbee 2004855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: I can't remember. It was back in May when we weaned. I think I just took benadryl a couple of nights. Nothing too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004850 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:42:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2004850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: I read about the decongestant thing! Just once a day - or how often? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004836 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:36:37 +0000 singingbee 2004836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a decongestant and when I was in the shower I would express just a little so it totally hurt. I was dried up in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/drying-up-weaning#post-2004830 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 21:30:00 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2004830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally decided (well, LO decided for me) that it was time to drop the last two nursing sessions of the day, and wean completely.<br /> Its been about 36 hours since I've last nursed, and my boobs hurt. They just feel bruised - not crazy engorged or anything, but enough that I'd like to do something about it. They just keep filling...its almost comical.</p> <p>I was hoping you guys would have some tips for drying up my supply a little quicker! I don't want to be a swollen leaky mess when I go back to work on Monday. Thoughts? </p>
