Sore breast after weening |

I recently stopped breastfeeding my baby and have had sore boobs ever since. Is there any way to help stop the milk coming and to ease the soreness?
Hi, You have to take things slowly when you decide to ween onto a bottle.
Your body needs time to stop producing milk you cant just turn it off like a tap.
You run the risk of infection.
Cut the feeds down by one every few days then your body will get the message to stop producing milk and you wont be sore.
Seeing you have already stopped you need to express just enough milk out of your breast to make them comfortable but no more.
Eventually your body will stop producing milk.
