Hi... a few suggestions to Suppressing milk 1. Wear a firm bra both day and night to support your breasts and keep you comfortable. 2. Use breast pads to soak up any leaking milk. 3. Relieve pain and swelling by putting cold/gel packs in your bra, or use cold compresses after a shower or bath. 3. Cold cabbage leaves worn inside the bra can also be soothing. Wash and dry the leaves before use and cut out any large, bumpy veins. 4. Whenever your breasts feel too full, express a little milk. Express only enough to make you comfortable. 5. Drink when you are thirsty. Cutting down fluids will not help reduce your milk supply. 6. There are some prescribed drugs that have been used to suppress lactation. Talk over the pros and cons of using lactation suppression drugs with your doctor before making a decision about whether they are necessary in your case.

But it will still take some time depending on how long you’ve been breastfeeding. The longer you’ve been breastfeeding the longer it takes for supply to stop.
