How to stop breastfeeding?

3 replies

I’m currently trying to stop breastfeeding. I have managed to drop down to one feed a day and one night feed but I find that it’s tricky to get rid of the day feed completely. My breast gets so hard and full and I just give in and feed my baby. How do I stop it? Should I pump instead? Please help, I’m so over it.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I used to just express off enough to ease the pain and it soon dropped off.

Use the hakka to vacuum suck for 15 mins once a day until you don't need to then just stop. Apparently Paracetamol helps I heard but can't confirm.

Thank you both for suggestions, I’ll try expressing hopefully milk supply will go down soon.
