Quitting breastfeeding and need help!

Kirsten • Spooky wife + momma of 4. 🖤

I have decided to stop breastfeeding my 5 day old. My milk supply just came in two days ago, but I’ve made the decision to switch to formula. She’s already taking bottles like a champ, but I’m stuck with engorged and painful breasts. I also am feeling achey from the pain.... tips on how to relieve the pain and dry up my milk supply?? I don’t know if I’m allowed to pump to relieve the pressure or if that’ll just make more milk come in? Please help a momma out 😭
