Not breast feeding

Hi all, I had my baby boy on Friday 🩵absolutely in love with him! I’ve chosen not to BF and today my boobs have got BIG😂the milk has defo starting to come in. Can anyone advise on what I need to do to stop the milk coming in? Do I just leave them be and if baby isn’t obvs latching then will the milk production just stop?

If you leave them alone they will jsut dry up naturally hun congratulations x

@Amber ok amazing and thank you 🩵

Just wear breastpads to help the leaking and avoid hot showers and anything that can stimulate them if that makes sense x

Put a tight fitting bra on if you have one, I’d suggest a sports bra, along with some breast pads. Don’t stimulate them and it should go soon. With my first baby it took a few days, second time round took a couple of weeks. I avoided going bra-less to prevent leaks and stimulation from shirts rubbing etc. 😊

Yes leave them! Lower the shower temperature, wear a tight compression bra/crop top/sports bra and ignore them (as hard as it is not to ha). I had this last week and they then went down to normal after around 4 days xx

Thanks girls 💕will do all the above x

Do not touch them, just wear a really tight sports bra, and leave them alone.
