I put frozen cabbage in my bra. It worked within a couple of days. I also heard binding works.

The shots and the pills are no longer available here. My doc had me do this with all three of my kids....sounds wierd but I swear it works. Go buy a cabbage....(stop laughing, im totally serious) put a cabbage leaf in each bra cup. When it starts to feel icky, replace with a new leaf. First of all the cold is very soothing. You will find that your breasts will hurt as you dry up. You will like that cold feeling. Secondly, there is something in the cabbage that helps the milk dry faster.
Also, make sure you wear a tight fitting, very supportive bra 24/7 until your supply is dried up. Wear it to bed too..Only take it off to shower.
Third, when in the shower, do NOT let warm water pour DIRECTLY on your breast as this will cause the milk to come back again. Once you are dried up, then you can.
Hope this helps and hopefully no one will bash my cabbage remedy, i swear im not joking.
By the way, that is fresh cabbage im talking about...peel a leaf right off of it and put it in ur bra.

I'm pretty sure the doctors will not give you the shot to make them dry up anymore at least that's what my doc told me. It better be true or I suffered for nothing! I have been told by many different nurses that if you put cabbage in your bra it will dry them up quick and take the pain away. good Luck!

Slowy wean your baby off breast milk. Start adding a bottle or two a day until that is all the baby drinks.

hi,just wanted to know if you are nursing or you have not started to and want the milk to stop?i have nursed all my kids and weaning is painful there is no getting around it. try wearing a tight bra and gradually slow your nursing down ,skipping a feeding and slowly cutting them out. if your not you will have to go through the painful process .wear a tight bra with support and wait it out.it might take a week for your mik ducks to dry up.good luck

Your doctor can give you a shot to dry you up.
