Stopping supply?

Question

Does anyone know how to go about drying up your milk? I exclusively pump and I’m deciding to stop because I’m only getting 1oz per session and it’s too time consuming. But how do I stop without getting a clogged duct or mastitis?

Answer

If you’re getting 1 oz, it shouldn’t be too hard.  You can try sage tea or tablets, benedryl or pseudoephedrine, and peppermint to dry up.  It is no longer recommended to wear tight bras because that actually contributes to blocked ducts.  Good luck mama!

Answer

I dropped a feeding at a time over the course of a few weeks and then once i was at once a day went until it hurt and i think I only pumped once or twice after that. I thought I was dried up but about a month afterwards my husband decided to pinch my nipples during sex- he got sprayed a lot! But I wasn’t in pain or leaking otherwise

Answer

I’m going to follow this post because my milk supply isn’t going down fast. I even stopped pumping after the first mastitis but I’m pretty sure I have it again. 😓

Answer

The way I did it was cutting out pumping all together. The only time I did was to release any pain from engorgement, whenever they hurt I also put ice packs on my boob (not the nipple!) I also took sudafed for a couple days. My supply dropped within a week, by 2 weeks it was completely dried. I also wore a tighter bra, some will say it has no actual benefit but even if it doesn't it sure felt better to have the boobies a little more tight.
