Tips on drying up milk?

Question

Please no judgement. I’m 10 days PP and my breastfeeding experience hasn’t been the best and my birth experience was worse. Please, if anyone has any tips on helping milk dry up quickly or less painfully, please share! I’m a little past 24 hours on not pumping or breastfeeding and I’m wearing a supportive bra. The pain is there but it’s not terrible yet unless I’m holding my baby and he is pushed against them.

Answer

Cold cabbage leaves in your bra, hand express only as much as you need to in order to be comfortable, and drink a lot of peppermint tea.

Cabbage leaves didn’t work for me. I took Sudafed every six hours and I was completely dried up in 2-3 days
