So the decision was made... I polished of my pack of freezer storage bags for breastmilk last weekend, stocked up the freezer, and the babe and the pump are now cut off. I have been in so much pain! I forgot how painful weaning is. I've tried everything from ice packs to cold cabbage leaves. If anyone else has any other tricks or suggestions, I'm open to just about anything right about now. I'm hoping I can start wearing normal shirts again soon. My doc told me to bind with an ace bandage or double up on the sports bras. I'm seriously dying and never want big boobies again! :)
Davis is doing just fine, by the way. He'll take any food he can get - bottle, formula, frozen milk... he just wants his tummy nice and full. Such an easy going guy.

Big boobies are so overrated.
I would have done it too Bri, sometimes it just doesn't work..I know what you mean I went to work out and the littlest bounce made them hurt haha, I'm jealous you are stopping.
I did it all-- and it seemed to work. Cabbage leaves, ice packs, ace bandages + really tight sports bra and sudafed dries out the milk. Avoid hot showers for a few days. It all adds up to a stinky mess, but it worked. I think that's everything...good luck!
I weaned this past week too!! I should have called you and we could have cried on the phone together. I also forgot how painful it was... definitely not something I remember with my others. Hope you are feeling better now!
