hi there

i was told when i was in hospital with my youngest that i could wear a band across my boobs & this restricts the milk ducts from producing anymore milk.

it is simular to a tummy butt band (sorry can't remember the name of either of them now) it was 3 & 1/2yrs ago i was told about this as both my kids failed to thrive on my milk so this is why i was told to use the band.

if you ask your local plunket nurse about this they may well know more about it.

Hi Raven,

Cabbage leaves are good for drying up, also reduce the burning feeling you can get with over fullness.  Just pop then in the fridge and them directly onto your breast in your bra if need be. Mint tea also has a drying up effect.

Good luck.
