You can’t stop right away. You can follow the website below for the suggestion. https://www.medela.us/breastfeeding/articles/how-to-wean-from-pumping-and-let-your-pump-go For me, when I wean off pumping, I decrease the pumping session from 5 times a day to 4 times then to 3 times then to 1. It takes time as if you wean off too fast it may result in engorged breast. Before you start weaning off, do ensure that your baby is ok with formula milk. Hopes this website helps as well. https://www.babybonus.msf.gov.sg/parentingresources/web/Babies/BabiesNutrition/BabiesBreastfeeding/Babies_Weaning_Stopping_Breastfeeding?_afrLoop=61229177609722890&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null#%40%3F_afrWindowId%3Dnull%26_afrLoop%3D61229177609722890%26_afrWindowMode%3D0%26_adf.ctrl-state%3D2uy66usmp_4
