  • When I stopped feeding the boys my boobs were like red hot boulders for about 3 or 4 days then gradually went back to normal (small!!!). They hurt like hell and I took paracetemol. Savoy cabbage is said to help, put cold leaf on each! Not tried it but could give it a go and let us know for when i stop feeding!? Good luck!
    Your lo looks lovely!
  • I'm not breastfeeding either and my boobs have been like rocks for about 3 days now and leaking quite a bit too.
    My midwife suggested getting someone else to feed Amy now and again, as me doing it might be encouraging my boobs to lactate - nice!

    I've just been in a bra for 24/7 and taking paracetamol and Ibuprofen, hoping they'll calm down soon!
