Pain now that milk is almost gone??

I wasnt sure if this was the right place to post or whatever... Hopefully not TMI!

I posted the other day that Seth is pretty much formula fed apart from first morning feed (about 6am, because Matt is at work and I cant be arsed getting up and doing a bottle lol). The rest of the time he has formula for his milk feeds.

Ive noticed Im not getting any more milk in through the day or night, but my boobs are constantly sore... like they used to hurt when Id missed a feed if you know what I mean? Been going on 3-4 days now and Im fed up

Cant sleep very well because of the pain.

Is it normal when your milk is drying up or could it be a blocked duct or something else? My MIL thinks its mastitis but I thought you had fluey symptoms with that?

Mine still hurt and I haven't BF max since he was 4 months ..so its quite normal my dr said its due to the heaviness now that the milk is gone its all fat/muscle so its hard on them as they stretched allot with the milk ..

Try to take a nice warm bath and massage them (without hubby there or you will make another baby lol) this will release any left over milk and relax you and them ..
Also try to wear a very supportive bra seems to help me allot

BTW I still have milk lol
