Is it true that weaning definitely will have to go through engorgement? Does weaning (due multiple medical advices from few different Doctors) has to be so emotional and stressful ? What are the ways to make it easier..

If you have no choice but to wean your baby, allow your body to adjust by gradually decreasing the pumping (in replacement of baby's feeding) sessions. You can refer to this article for some tips on easing engorgement: http://sg.theasianparent.com/treatment-of-breast-engorgement/ Remember that what you are doing is probably best for you and your baby (since most of your doctors are recommending this). Don't be too hard up on yourself and adapt to the changes slowly if possible. Talk to your loved ones for some emotional support during this period. All these will have make the process more bearable for you. Take care!!
