Q.

Hello! I stopped breastfeeding my baby after she turned 2 recently.. it’s been 10 days since I stopped breastfeeding her.. and honestly i didn’t stop feeds gradually.. I did it abruptly all at once.. first two days my breasts were too engorged then after hot compress, it reduced to 20% and from 5th day i started to feel hard lumps and heavy breasts.. last night I was massaging my breasts, and the milk started coming out.. in large quantities.. I massaged my breasts till the milk stopped flowing out.. my question is.. is massaging same as expressing milk? I mean does massaging breasts and milk leaking out signal brain to produce more milk ? I hope I’m just clearing out the lumps? I feel the lumps soften after the milk leaked out Please help!!

A. Hello my dear parent! Manual expressing starts with gently massaging the breast, so yes, there can be some kind of signals. It is advisable to check with your doctor once in this matter to clarify your concern concerns. Good luck and take care.
