What do I do if I produce milk since I have lost my baby?

I lost my baby boy a few days ago. He was 6 months old. His heart has stopped. I am now feeling like I am going to produce milk. My boobs hurt and feels heavy. What should I do? How could i get it out? And what should I do with it? Could it be donated to orphanages? Is it still good milk? #miscarriage #milkproduction

I'm so sorry for your loss, mommy. You may want to talk to your pedia po if they know any organization that accepts breast milk donations. I'm sure there are lots of babies out there, especially premature ones who would greatly benefit and appreciate your help. You can pump your milk using a breast pump if you like. Warm towels, massages, and hot showers can help if you ever experience clogged ducts. Pump regularly to avoid clogging your milk ducts and if you're planning to do it for a long time. Otherwise, you can slowly space out the pumping (ex. 2hrs--> 3 or 4 hrs, etc) to slow down your milk production. Don't stop cold turkey to avoid pain/risks of getting mastitis. I wish you healing, mommy. 🥺🤗
