I want to stop pumping

its been 8 hours since I last pumped but my breasts feels fine.. should I persist to not pump? cause when I did the drop one feed at a time yesterday, my boobs got painful clogs. unclogged with warm compress ate sunflower lecithin and now it's not painful at all.. should I just pump when it gets painful? or persist not to pump for 48 hours for the miln to dry up

What I heard is that you should pump only when engorged or uncomfortable and only pump until you are not engorged and not until empty. Also heard can use Cold cabbage to soothe engorgement.

if i’m not wrong cabbage actually cuts the milk supply off as well. i had a friend who used it to cut off her supply.
