Stop breastmilk production
I'm 4 weeks pp and I would like to stop pumping/breastfeeding since my volume has been low (50-70ml) no matter what I do, and just feed my baby with formula milk. Any tips on how to best stop breastmilk from being produced over time? Thanks in advance!
Drag pump time, slight hand express if discomfort but do not empty boob. Else just request medicine from GP/Gynae to stop milk. Should dry up in 2 weeks. Anyway just to add that I was in the same situation as you when I’m 1 month PP. I needed to combine 2-3 sessions to be able to match baby’s 1 feed hence baby was on mixed feeding since birth. To make bfing worse, I had 2 episodes of mastitis acccompanied by the lack of sleep which made me want to give up bfing badly.. 😔 I requested for the prescription to stop milk supply but GP told me “once you take there’s no U-turn.” I told myself to try for the last time, if cannot then forget it. Skeptical and desperate, I tried sunflower lecithin and legendairy milk supplements, thankfully it worked for me so baby transited to full bm. I went from very undersupply to oversupply. Whatever it is, fed is best and do what you think will make you feel happy! ❤️

thanks for sharing!
