A. It happens with some women so you should start massaging your breast with warm oil and followed by warm compress which will be quite helpful and also check with your doctor if you need to take a medication to completely dry up your breastfeed

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!!
