Good morning girls.

Today i feel absolutely sh*t. My breasts are engorged and i don't know what to do. I have taken two does of Kripton since last night, which is a medication to stop BM. It causes nausea and drowsiness (amongst other things too) and i feel like both at the moment. I had to express at 3am this morning to relieve my bbs and i poured the milk the drain, which absolutely shattered me to pieces. I have been crying for the past hour about my situation. I spoke to mum and she said that i keep bf for a few more weeks and hope that by then my supply will diminish on its own. I broke down afterwards and decided that i will express and give to Ela in a bottle. I called the MCHN hotline for advice on Kripton and the length of time it remains in the body. I was advised 3 days, so i will express and throw away my milk for the 3 days and begin BF again on Tuesday. MCHN also advised that 6 month olds only need a 200ml feed 4-5 times a day. I feel much better now psychologically, even though i still suffer the side effects of that medication.
I need to go Ela has woken. I shall be back later to do personals. Thanks for reading about my dilemma.

Take care.
