Advice please

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for gatecrashing, I no longer bf Tamzin. Just wondering if you could give me any advice for my sister. Her baby is almost 3 weeks old and she has been bf him, but it was always something she was uncomfortable with. She has done brill to do it for this long but she is now in agony . Her boobs are really swollen and painfull, I have told her to take regular paracetamol but is there anything else she can do? Is there anything she can take to speed up the procces of her milk drying up?

Cheers

  • Apparently sage is good for drying up, should be able to get it in tablet form in any health food shop, or just cook with loads of it! Not tried it myself (yet) so don't know how effective it is but I've seen it on several websites.
