Exclusively Pumping mama needing help!!!
Hi ladies! I'm hoping someone might be able to help me or throw out some suggestions.
I'm currently working to drop my last 2 pumps (son is 9 months, I have 2,000+ oz in the deep freezer and it was requested by my endocrinologist) and am having a lot of pain and leaking.
I was previously pumping at 6am and 6pm, and pumping 8 oz per breast. I reduced my volume pumping for each to 4 oz per breast per pump session, as suggested by a lactation consultant.
I woke up this morning and (for the first time ever) had a soaking wet nursing pad, bra, shirt, and bed. This Is only day 1, and I know from previously dropping pumping sessions that it's only going to get more painful. I've been taking sudafed to help dry me up, but I'm not certain that it's working.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on drying up milk supply or helping with pain? It's only 1pm my time, and my boobs already hurt, and I still have 5 hours till I pump next! 😰
Thank you so much for your suggestions!
