Help drying up my milk…baby is 3 months old?

  • Posted on October 17, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Please do not tell me I shouldn’t do this, because it is hard enough for me to HAVE to stop breastfeeding. I don’t need a lecture! I have struggled with my supply ever since my daughter was born. I have taken all of the herbs and drank extra water and I finally had enough to satisfy her. Well then I went back to work, and it dropped so I had to give one formula bottle while she was away from me. Now my thyroid levels have gone crazy and we can not get them settled, so my milk has dropped to nothing. When she nurses on both sides I still have to give her a 2 ounce bottle of formula. I have spoken to her pedi and he says to just stop and not beat myself up about it. But its hard, I feel like a failure. Anyways, I need suggestions on how to dry it up. It has been a little over 24 hours since I have nursed her and I am starting to feel full and hurt. What can I do, and is what is the fastest way to dry it up? Thanks in advance!
