Formula feeding… how to get rid of milk in breast
Hello, I am formula feeding (c section is next Friday). I have had no leakage from my breasts at all. I don’t want them to be painful and leaky, really as I’m not breastfeeding.
Any tips on drying out milk asap when baby is here? Is this something I can do? X

I can’t breastfeed due to heart medication and with my first I was worried about this but it just never happened, I think like Jess has said, if you do nothing to get your body to think it needs to produce the milk it just doesn’t come in x
Perfect thanks guys x
Just wear something tight on them, ideally a sports bra or something like that. Don’t stimulate them at all, leave them alone as best as you can and it’ll go down if you get much come in. I formula fed my first and on day 3-4 had sore, semi-hard boobs but by day 5 it’d calmed. I’m also formula feeding this baby, I’m on day 3 now but haven’t had anything come in yet - been wearing my sports bra at all times, only removing to shower/change it and it’s helped 😊

Think there’s some tablets you can request, but very certain if you just don’t feed it doesn’t come in properly x
