Hi all
My LG is now 6 months old so we've started weaning and we're getting into a really good routine with food/naps etc.
I've decided to stop breastfeeding to help with the routine (she's always had the occasional bottle of formula so will obviously continue with that).
I know you're supposed to reduce the feeds gradually to allow your body to adjust and LO has basically led this herself anyway, but my boobs are getting ridiculously engorged at night.
Basically I can go the whole day without BFing but then I get to 4am and I'm in so much pain.
I've been hand expressing just to get comfortable but does anyone have any advice on stopping milk production completely?
I've always been lucky in that I've produced more than enough milk (in the very early days when it was too painful to feed LO on the boob MW was amazed by how much I could express) but obviously now it's becoming an issue.
Thanks
