It’s time to stop breast feeding. Is it better to go cold turkey or feed once a day to reduce the milk?

Question

My baby is 13 months old. I think it’s time to stop breastfeeding. I forgot how painful it is to do so. I want to hear your personal experience and what did you do to reduce your milk and for the pain. Thanks!

Answer

Reduced. Don’t go cold turkey. You’ll become engorged & it’s painful & also increases your risk for clogged ducts etc.

Answer

Definitely slowly!!!! Cold turkey is just asking for clogged ducts and mastitis

Answer

Hand Express until relief, cabbage leafs and a lot of cold compress when your not hand expressing..
every 2 days go an hour without hand expressing and repeat ! 
Example:
8am, 10am Express, cold compress,  cabbage  leafs . 
2 days later..8am , 11am Express blah blah blah 
2 days after 8am 12pm..
