It's easy to see it now that I'm weaning, I only seem to have milk ducts on the top on my breasts. At my best I could only pump 2 oz. For a while I was getting 1 oz hand expressing into a bottle. DS won't nurse anyway at all now and I'm ok with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432272 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:17:57 +0000 blackbird 2432272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The more you remove, the more you make!

Hand expression isn't a good indication. I'd get a hand pump and pump when uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432202 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:32:26 +0000 MrsF 2432202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the cabbage leaves and sudafed when I stopped cold turkey with DD (obviously that was a bad idea. I wasn't in my right mind). I think they helped! At least I felt like I was doing something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432186 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:23:16 +0000 catomd00 2432186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@macintosh: I haven't done it since pregnancy did it for me, but it's the two things that I always see people recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432181 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:21:11 +0000 macintosh 2432181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: does that really work? Cause when DS bumps into my boob in the morning that sucker hurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432165 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:14:07 +0000 catomd00 2432165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cabbage leaves and sudafed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-ready-to-be-done-nursing#post-2432164 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:13:02 +0000 macintosh 2432164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost done weaning my 9 month old, but I still wake up daily with uncomfortable fullness. </p> <p>DS was supplemented from the beginning to my low supply. He stopped nursing during the day months ago. He was bedsharing and nursing for comfort at night until a week ago. Now he's basically STTN in his crib (yaaaay!). I don't pump but I do hand express in the shower a bit. Any tips on weaning without too much discomfort? I'm so ready to just be done and stop wearing nursing pads all day and bras at night!</p> <p>ETA: I should mention I got less than 1 oz when I hand expressed last week, so it's almost dried up. Is hand expressing in the shower just prolonging things? </p>
