Answer 1

In the store where you buy your breast pads there is an ointment, I forget what it's called that will help with the soreness.  If the pads are sticking to you then you are wearing them too long, they shouldn't dry up and stick.  Change them more often, I know it's annoying and expensive.  I'm assuming that you are not breasfeeding since you want your milk to dry up, if this is the case then suck it up, it's almost over.  Otherwise, pump since you're spilling over, it will regulate eventually.  Don't pump if you want the milk to dry up as it will only cause your body to produce more.  If you are not already breast feeding, maybe you should try it, your body obviously is making milk still and it is so much better for you and your baby!  I have four children, I was young with the first three and not at all interested in breast feeding when I had my 4th my new husband wanted me to try it so I did and I was amazed at how much easier it was!!  I should have breast fed all of the kids, no exhausting nights trying to get bottles ready while the baby is screaming!

Answer 2

they make a cream for your b*****s, I forgot what its called.  Kind of looks like a and d ointment or vaseline, but thats not what it is.  Call your dr or the hospital and ask them.  Then just put that on every little while.  Also, have you tried the washable kind of breast pads?  They are fabric and might not stick to you as bad, plus, you wont have to spend so much on the disposables.
