The pain of stopping breastfeeding
The end of breastfeeding and the beginning of weaning and food diversification can lead to pain. What is the cause of this pain and how can it be relieved?
- First of all, weaning your baby should be done gradually, replacing feedings with bottles over several days. This allows your body to adapt to weaning.
- However, you may experience some pain due to milk flow and engorgement.
- You can massage the areola to relieve the pain without stimulating lactation.
- Ice packs or cold compresses can also temporarily relieve pain, tighten blood vessels and reduce milk production.
- If the pain is difficult to bear, use a breast pump to express a small amount of milk and not stimulate production.

Any breastfeeding or pumping mom having nipple/breast pain and what are you doing to help it.
Amanda
Nipple ointment after each pump/feed. I put right on a nursing pad and into the bra. I also apply heat prior to for a couple minutes. Helps with let down.

So I’ve decided to stop breastfeeding due to the pain and now I just feel terrible, everytime I do skin to skin with my baby she reaches for my breast. Even when I burp her on my chest she’s looking for my boob, but I just can’t anymore.
Samantha
Maybe you can pump and bottle feed. I think that's what I'm going to do. But I get it. It's sad

I started pumping for the same reason and honestly it’s better than before when I was trying to breastfeed and my boobs were just raw and in so much pain.

Massage your breast while warm water is running down your back. Do not wear bra, wear something loose and breathable. Apply hot compression to your breast. I went through the same thing with my daughter and I did not give up. And I stopped breastfeeding her at age 2 and a half.

Any breastfeeding moms know how to keep baby from scratching them all to shreds? She’s 8 months and seems like it’s a habit to scratch while she’s eating, sometimes even when she’s not! Does anyone have ideas on how to get her to stop? It’s quite painful. #Breastfed #Breastfeeding #8Months
