Achey Boobs

[Jayden'sMummy]

My poor boobs are so so sore! i have gone from being a 32c to a 32e an ouchhh there like bricks an so delicate, especially when my little monster tries suckling on to them [even though mummy keeps telling him that hes not allowed mummys boob ]

Any advice on how to lessen [or completely take away] the horrible pain ...

Thanks girls xxx

Mine are the same hun, it's horrible isn't it? I assume you aren't breastfeeding then. I asked a similar question in a thread earlier and it seems the milk production will dry up in around a week/10 days. I was BF for nearly 2 weeks so my boobs are pretty sore now but they are getting better and my nipples are healing! Hope they feel better soon!

Hey,

It took about a week for mine to stop hurting so much and 5 weeks on they have stopped leaking.

I found that sponging them with warm water helped the pain a bit, but make sure you wear a proper fitting bra cause if you don't your bra will cause you more pain than it is worth

I heard it's cabbage, a warm cloth can help, leave it on for a couple of mins.

i hope they recover soon hun, it can be really painful, a bit like they've been run over by a truck!!

They've reduced in size + are less painful now, still awkward but hey at least i can sleep properly now without waking up to wet patches + achy boobs haha x

mine were like that foir 2 days when the real milk "came in". wish i'd taken a photo - they were awesome!! painful though. The MW gave me some green algae stuff which i put on a cold wet compress and this was meant to ease the aching.

she also told me that the best thing is to put green cabbage leaves direct from fridge into your bra - just cut the tough central stem out !!!!
