How to dry up milk of one breast
I have recently had surgical incision of left breast abscess. Incision is just around the aerola. Baby can't latch due to hardness around the incision. I can't express as the open wound is still healing. What can be done to dry up milk from the affected breast?

Nothing can be done to dry up the milk from affected side as any medicines to stop lactation will affect both the breast
