What do I do with my milk lol

So I had to abruptly stop breastfeeding my 10m old because I had to start taking medication. But my boobs are still filling up with milk 😂😭 it’s getting so painful…. Can I pump and save for like milk baths? And rashes still?

Cause my dr said “I want you stop breastfeeding cold turkey because I cannot be limited to making sure you get the right treatment”

So it’s not like I’m ever gonna breast feed again…. I just don’t know what to do with my milk lol. Does it go away over time?! Idk

Make creams out of it for skin or put it in soap

Yes, eventually, your milk will dry up. It just depends on how long you're not able to nurse and if you pump while not nursing.

Milk baths are fine! Start tapering down with pumping for relief so you don’t get mastitis

Also, 1 dose of regular Sudafed will cut your supply in half

Maybe you can make milk jewelry to remember the time.

You can make milk jewelry, donate milk, etc. But if you want your body to stop producing milk, then you shouldn't pump. Breasts produce milk in a supply and demand system. If you pump because of engoregment, the body will see that as a sign to make more milk. The best course of action is to just deal with the discomfort for a few days so your body understands that milk is no longer needed.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
