I froze washcloths and wrapped another dry washcloth around it then stuffed the whole shebang in my bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635892 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 07:35:11 +0000 pl0508 635892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: true!

Are you going back to work? I sent 10/oz a day to daycare when he started at 8 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635855 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 07:10:05 +0000 pl0508 635855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: true. I've got over 100 oz in the freezer right now so was just going to break for a little while' but I guess the key to regulating my supply is consistency ?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635795 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 05:24:24 +0000 matador84 635795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't cut out the freezer bag. You might want it later if you end up with supply problems. Your supply will level off eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635763 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 03:49:33 +0000 pl0508 635763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635601 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:42:16 +0000 autumn865 635601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get that soreness after being engorged and it usually goes away after a day of so. Isn't it cruel that you finally sleep but wake up uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-boobs-hurt#post-635570 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:21:39 +0000 pl0508 635570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night LO slept really good! I block feed so before he went to sleep he nursed around 7:30 on the left side. He nursed at 2 on the right. I didn't think he would go for a long stretch after that so I didn't worry about the left but he ended up sleeping until 6:30. My left hadn't been emptied in almost 11 hrs. It was so engorged !!! I hand expressed some before feeding him. </p> <p>I feel like my over supply has started back up again. All of a sudden he had two days of green poops so I really was diligent about making sure he got to the hind milk. Today we are back to (bright!!!) yellow poops but they are very stringy. Like he ate a spool of thread haha! </p> <p>All that to say, my boobs just feel ...weird. Kind of achy and like they are never emptied fully. </p> <p>I've gone back to uphill nursing and letting down in a towel. I don't want to pump and encourage more production because that may be what got me here in the first place. Should I just tough the engorgement out and wait for it to regulate. Hand expression doesn't encourage more production, right ??? </p> <p>I was pumping a freezer bag (5oz) every day and also a bottle (4oz). I'm cutting the freezer bag for now and just going to pump his bottle each day when DH feeds him. </p> <p>Blah. Am I handling this right ? </p>
