He is a few days away from 7 months.. I was down to one feeding a day and now that I stopped that one feeding they got really engorged... I really need help... I'm really to try any thing. I've been putting ice packs. Cabbage leaves. They r so sore and full it hurts to do anything....I stopped because he has his teeth and I can't get him to stop biting.

Do you have a pump? If so, use it for just a few minutes. And check out the link I provided from the KellyMom website about weaning. It has some tips for engorgement too.

Hand express just enough so that they're not rock hard anymore. Keep up the cabbage leaves, and ice. Obviously you don't want to pump and empty the breast because that will stimulate more production, but removing just enough milk until you're a bit more comfy will be OK.
