You can stop pumping until you feel the engorgement and express till you half emptied your breasts. Keep dragging the time from your last time meaning if you last pump at 1pm and you normally pump every 4 hours, you drag till 6-8 hours later then you pump. You can half empty your breasts. Apply cold compress after you pump. You can also apply cold cabbage but remove after it is no longer cold. Another option is to take medication to stop lactation and for that you need to see doctor and get the medicine instead.
