How can i stop breast tenderness if i don't breastfeed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pump and dump: Pumping may relieve some of the pressure. Additionally, use of nsaids like Motrin may help with the discomfort. Of course, there is always the concern that the more you pump, the more you make. Consult with your ob/gyn about long term treatment options.
