How to reduce milk supply

I am returning to work soon and like to reduce my milk supply gradually. I have been increasing my pumping interval from 3 to 4 to 5 hrs (each 20mins/breast) for the last 5 days. My breasts is starting to clog and I worried it will cause mastitis. Can I take lechthin to remove these clog? How to reduce milk without getting clog and mastitis?

Cabbage leaf definitely helps, if you feel some lumps you can massage and hand express to remove the lumps. I think 20 min might be a bit long if you want to reduce supply, you can stop when you see the milk is not coming out or coming out very slowly. For me that only took less than 10 min
