Help! Drying up milk not breastfeeding

Meagan

I’m 5 days post partum. not nursing. Pumped twice in total the other day but not doing it anymore. Drying up my milk. Breasts are huge, and lumpy. Is this a normal part of drying up process? Should I really have issues even though I only pumped twice?? I mean can you really do anything except stop cold turkey if you’ve only pumped twice in the 5 days your child has been born?? Worried about causing infection.
