What happens to mother who gives up her baby for adoption?
I’m not trying to be gross or anything, I’m simply wondering, what happens when a mother wants to give up her baby for adoption right after it is born? I’m asking… what happens to the mothers breast milk? Since she doesn’t have a baby to drink it, how does she get it out? Does she get it out? Again, not trying to be gross, simply wondering! 
I’m starting to understand now! Thanks for everyone who is answering! I’m trying to choose a top favirote but they are all so good! :D
Back when my children were born (before 1990), mother’s were given a drug to stop milk production. I was given this medication to stop milk production when I stopped nursing my 1st child. Turns out these were eventually found to have side effects & taken off the market for milk cessation.

Binding the breasts (used by some) prevents engorgement, but can be painful & doesn’t prevent leakage. Breast engorgement plays a function in rapidly stopping milk production. Accumulation of milk that results in engorgement creates a chain of events that lead to cessation of the lactation process. Although engorgement is the stimulus for stopping lactation quickly, painful engorgement is not required & can be avoided. Removing just enough milk to reduce the pressure in the breasts, but not enough to empty them, will gradually diminish milk production without excessive discomfort for the mother. A mother can use manual expression or a good quality breast pump.
In addition:
*Warm showers will help induce milk leakage & reduce pressure
*Ice packs or cold cabbage leaves inside the bra will decrease local pain & swelling
*Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be helpful for pain relief
That’s just the “technical” answer. MagicPointe gave the true emotional answer.
