Hi!

Before I give you some advise on how to relieve the pain, I just want to make sure you know the following...

It is recommended to continue with breastfeeding for at least six months read here on the benefits of breastfeeding

If you had to wean baby because you had to return to work, you should know that you can continue to breastfeed while working.

It's also perfectly okay if you just don't want to breastfeed anymore, its a personal choice...I'm just mentioning the facts in-case it was for other reasons.

Things that will help with weaning so that you don't feel so engorged...

- Try weaning slowly, instead of leaving it all in one day...this will help your body signal a slow decrease in milk supply.

- Ice packs can be used to help with swelling and pain.

- You can continue to use cabbage leaves.

- Read more on how to deal with engorged breasts. 

- Read our page on how to wean a baby from breastfeeding

Hope this helps...please let me know how things go.
