Stop breastfeeding

Breastfeeding (expressing) is affecting my mental & physical health, my breasts constantly hurt, even when I express, I need to get checked to discard mastitis, but my mental health isn't good too, so I just want to stop producing milk.
I'm recovering from a C-Section, my body looks like a disgrace and my scar got infected twice and had to had antibiotics, I'm constantly uncomfortable.

GP has suggested to stop producing milk the natural way, but when I try, the pain is unbearable and it seems like my body wants to produce even more milk. I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't cope with it anymore.
Luckily my baby is mostly formula fed and any breastmilk has been given to him in bottles anyway, and he seems healthy & happy.

Has anyone stopped producing milk the natural way? I asked for medication and they said they can't prescribe it unless a major medical reason 😔

Bedtime Advice
