Instructions to stop breast milk supply
Hello doctor,
I'm a mom of 1 year old boy. He's exclusively bf for a year. I have stopped breastfeeding him gradually in a month. From last 15 20 days feeding stopped completely. Now I'm still facing engorgement in both breast and pain in one. It's leaking milk, has become very hard. Plz help me out on how can I reduce milk supply. My gynac has prescribed 2 tablets of cabgolin 0.5 gm for 1 day. And then supply will reduce. I need to know how this tablet works. Does it have extreme side effects ?
P.s to relief pain I'm already taking tablet combiflam.
