How to dry up supply?

Question

Hey ladies. I’ve been exclusively pumping, and I think I’ll be ready to stop soon. How do I go about that without getting mastitis and with the least amount of discomfort? Lol
Thanks!

Answer

Theres a great instagram account called "Pump_momma_pump" on exclusively pumping and she has great info on weaning too. Might need to scroll down a bit because she posts a lot

Answer

go slow. SLOW. 
Whatever route you decide to take (decreasing time per pump or increasing time between pumps to eventually eliminate a session)- go SLOW. 
You may be those who can easily drop a session after a week- or not. If not, well, ya know the consequences 😅
From personal experience, anytime I made a change, I’d do that for another 3-5 days before making another change again. 
Ex: day I usually pump 15 mins a session. 
For the next 3-5 days, I pump only 12-13 mins. 
If all is well, then I will decease to 8-10 mins for the next 3-5 days. Etc.

Answer

Slowly drop pumps (over a few weeks) and take something decongestant to help decrease milk production

Answer

I started pumping less. So I used to pump 30 min every 3 hours. I then went down to 20 min every 4 hours for a few days and then 15 min every 5 hours for a few days and so on. I haven’t had any issues. Although I wasn’t a huge producer in the first place.
