]]>If your breasts become engorged, any stimulation will make it keep happening. What you should do is wear a supportive bra, take some ibuprofen and try to ignore them. The discomfort usually disappears after a few days.
You may notice some solid lumps in your breasts. This is caused by milk absorption and they will go away. When you start weaning, your breasts still fill up with milk. If you no longer breastfeed or pump, your body notifies your brain that the milk isn’t needed anymore.
Your body gets the message to stop producing milk and the cells that helped with its production begin breaking down any milk that’s left over. It can take up to a few months for your body to adjust which means you may still experience a ‘let down’ for some time.
Hormonal changes also occur when you stop breastfeeding and it’s advisable to stop gradually, rather than all at once. When breastfeeding ends, your prolactin and oxytocin levels drop. Other hormones like progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen increase.

]]>The best thing to do here is to say something before your friend even gets a hold of your little one. It’s even better if you instruct everyone to wash their hands as soon as they arrive.
This is a bit harder to handle but not impossible. You can gently move your little one out of reach than say something like, “Sorry but we’re not doing kisses and hugs today.”
The best thing to do in this situation is by giving a PNR or a positive, non-committal response. This is a lot better than flat-out rejecting the advice.
In such situation, keep in mind that you’re the one in control. So you can say that it’s not a good day for a visit then think of a good excuse why.
You can either politely tell everyone to keep their voices low or establish from the beginning that your friends’ visit can’t take too long.
