Drying up milk supply "cold turkey" as advised by my ob. in pain, taking 600mg ibuprofen/6hrs. , i have lidocaine patches at home, can i use on breast?

Won't help: Pump and empty you breasts. Bind as tight as you can stand with wide ace bandage. Use sports bra over ace. Use this pocket to place frozen peas package. When showering turn back to water. No stimulation of breasts. Hope this helps.
