How to stop breast milk from coming in? (Putting the baby up for adoption)?
kirstenshaye asked:
I’m just wondering if there’s anything I can ask the docter to prescribe me. Or anything I can do to stop it. My breasts are already so sore and the babys not even born yet, I can’t imagine after it’s born! Please help??!!

You can’t stop the milk from coming in. It’ll go away if you don’t breastfeed.

…You can’t.
This is one of the side effects of pregnancy. You are producing milk that will feed your child, your body doesn’t know that you’re not going to keep the baby. It’s just going through it’s natural phase.

There will be pain involved. It would be easy to pump..even just once or twice a day, to get some relief. Its MUCH easier (more comfortable) to “wean” yourself off than to just not do anything.
Hot showers help…For a little while..

You can’t. You can pump and donate your milk to a milk bank. Also, do you think you can give the baby a little milk at first? the colostrum you produce for the baby is supposed to be really good for it.

You can ask your doctor for advice, I am not sure if there is anything that they can prescribe. However, once the milk comes in you might pump a bit just to relieve the pain. It isn’t going to be super painful, just more really uncomfortable. If you pump a bit out you can donate it.

It might not be that painful. My boobs hurt BAD when I was pregnant. But, my milk never really came in (and I wanted to BF) and after 24 hours of not nursing, it stopped completely. I did become engorged once, but it was not painful at all.
Ask your doctor, there actually might be something to stop it. Maybe.

You should pump it for the baby after he’s born, even if you’re not keeping him. Send him off with a healthy start! He really needs that first milk, at the very least.

After you have the baby Put Cabbage leaves in your bra.

There are herbs that can help I don’t remember the exact ones though, you could try googling it. Maybe black cohosh… DO NOT take any herbs while you are pregnant though because they can cause early labor and miscarriage… you’ll probably have to wait until after the baby is born to take anything.

yes there is a drug they can give you that helps your milk not to even come in at all, but sometimes it doesnt work and it comes in anyway. just ask your doc about it, my mom had it.

Hi there
I just had my baby 10 days ago and knew i was not going to breast feed.
Here are some of the tips i got when in hospital and they have worked for me.
1) wear a bra 24 x 7
2) when in the shower do not allow hot water to go near your breasts - keep your back to the shower - what ive been going is having a bath and then washing my upper half in the sink.in cool water
3) Habe absolutly no breast stimulation - pretend theyre not there!
4) My breasts did fill and did leek and were sore for cira 2 days but im fine now- make sure you wear breast pads and take nuerofen for pain relief
Best of luck!
