What happens to your boobs when you formula feed?

Question

For those who exclusively formula feed, what was your experience like? Did your milk come in at all? Was it painful? 
My plain is to exclusively formula feed from birth.

Answer

Put cabbage in your bra. And get a tight sports bra. You may leak at night so wear it then too. For me, I wasn’t ever in pain, but they did get really engorged with the 2nd one. I never touched them. No hand expressing or Manual pumping.. I just let them do their thing and it was over in about 2 weeks

Answer

I did with my second and it wasn't too bad. Tight sports bras like someone else said helped a lot. Also made sure when I was showering to not let too much hot water just run on my breasts. Took about a week to dry up, but I had issues and never produced much to start.

Answer

My milk came about day 3 was bad at first then when I woke up it was bad. My sister breast fed so I called her and she brought me her hand pump and said to use it when it’s bad and gave me bags to freeze and said to save it for when she gets sick and give her. I hand pumped like twice a day for about 3 days and was done after that they went back to how they were before.

Answer

My milk came in at day 3 and I pumped a little just to relive the pain. It’s PAINFUL when they are full. And I was going to attempt to exclusively pump but I didn’t. It was too painful so I stopped after two days and it dried up within a week. I leaked one day and that was it. I’m not sure I would’ve even had a good enough supply honestly and my daughter had allergies.

Answer

I didnt breast feed. I leaked abit but not much. Within two weeks my boobs were normal. I didnt have pain like clogged ducts or anything just heavy massive boobs then it went away
