Warmth helps the mil flow so use cold compresses to stop the flow. If you cannot get to the doctor try this. Believe it or not cool fresh cabbage leaves work really well. They cup aroung your breasts really good and the coolness dries you up. You can use ice packs and other items to apply coolness. You should dry up in a day or two.

I went 6 weeks breastfeeding and was leaking after i stop. I soaked newspaper in vingear and put on my breast and wrap a sheet around me tightly for the night. I know the smell isnt all that good but it works. Then the next moring Have a really hot shower to get smell and newspaper inprint on boobs. I worked for me. Give it a go.

The doctors give women that don't nurse a prescription to dry up their milk so all you should have to do is call your doctor.Don't wait any longer. You should not have to be uncomfortable any more. I feel so bad for you that your doctor didn't talk to you about this much earlier. Make the call and relax and enjoy your baby!

I HAD INVERTED NIPPLES BEFORE I NURSED. I NOW HAVE 4 SONS - I NURSED THEM ALL AND NOW I DON'T ANYMORE. I WOULD DEF GO TO THE DOCTORS AND GET THEM TO PERSCRIBE SOMETHING FOR YOU SO YOUR MILK WILL DRY UP.
