How to dry up milk supply without getting clogged ducts etc??

Question

I'm needing some advice on how to dry up my milk supply. I've exclusively pumped for 7 months now and I'm ready to quit. I have enough saved in my freezer to get my LO to a year. I've been pumping every 5 hours and then 5 hours and 30 minutes at night. I'm still pumping about 12 ounces or more every pump. I was going every 6 but got a clogged duct and sore out of no where. How can I dry up my supply without going cold turkey? I don't want to get mastitis or anything like that.

Answer

Sudafed will help dry up your supply if you want to do it quickly, as well as cold cabbage leaves in your bra and no more milk tea, but the best way is to do it slowly by eliminating one pump at a time by a few minutes per day until you eliminate that session. So first I would cut out the middle of the night pump then choose one of your mid day sessions to cut out first, then the next midday session, so on and so forth until you have just your morning and bedtime pump left then cut out the bedtime pump and lastly your morning pump.

Answer

You can start taking parlodel we use it a lot in my country.
