Tips on getting breastmilk to go away

Sarah

I have literally not pumped for almost 4 days now, I’ve put cabbage on my breasts and I’m literally still engorged 😭 I thought if I toughed it out it would go away but so far it’s just been painful. I had already cut down pumping to every 12+ hours and I was fine, I even made it to 24 hours with no pain and all of a sudden my body just decided it was going to make more milk. I had to quit for my mental healths sake and my baby is 7 weeks old. What can I do to make this go away? I’m miserable 😩
