So tomorrow is day 4 of no breastfeeding and going through the pain of the drying up process.. A lot of the "swollen" engorgment crappiness is gone and its not to painful anymore.. Now they feel lumpy and bumpy.. Is this normal?

    I'm pretty sure its normal. When I key my milk dry up after having my son, my jobs weren't back to normal for a few weeks. *bump!

    Yes I'm on day 2 and I'm still a little lumpy. I'm just glad I'm not gonna get engorged.

    Did you try taking benedryl? That dries you up just because milk ducts are like any other so its made to dry up running noses and eye ducts. I was told not to take any while nursing.

    No I didn't take any beneryl but it's worth a shot.. And thank you everyone!!

    ya it could be like that for a few weeks.. as long as you dont have any reddness or pain in one particular spot you should be fine
