How to stop making milk
How do I go about stopping my supply? Been exclusively pumping for 6 weeks and I’m over it now, we’re moving to formula.
I’m going longer in between pumps but omg I get sooooooo sore.
Any tips greatly appreciated

Definitely slowly wean off, as I’ve heard doing it too fast can cause painful engorgement and potentially clogged ducts and mastitis, like the above comment, I think I read someone else say in another post to space out your pumpings more and gradually make them longer in between
Someone I know just reduced by one feed/pump a day x

I've reduced from 6-7 times a day to 3 times a day by adding more time in between, transitioning over 2 days. I'm gonna stop entirely in the coming weeks by pumping less and less each time until I produce no more. If uou do that over a few days (reduce the volume you pump rather than times you pump), I think it will be less painful
