My wife stopped breastfeeding and is in extreme pain with her breasts and the milk wont stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lactation pain: Once lactation ceases, the breasts become engorged. Two solutions can help to send the message to the pituitary to "stop production and layoff the breast milk factory." The first is the use of a breast binder and the second is an ice pack to the breasts. The pain should decrease as the contained breast milk is dissipated. If not, see her OB MD to make sure there is no breast infection.(mastitis)
