I’ve decided after 18 weeks of exclusively pumping that I am done. Switching to formula but obviously I know I can’t just stop pumping.
I’ve cut down to 3 pumps a day (plus an 8 min pump in the middle of the night because uncomfortable) and i’m producing the same, if not more than I was on 4/5 pumps a day. Currently producing around 900ml on 3/4 pumps.
How long will it take for my supply to stop? I just want it over with😢

Only express an amount till you're not uncomfortable (don't fully express). I have also heard people swear by savoy cabbage leaves in the bra to help dry up milk

Laura's right, don't fully express. What I did was instead of 15min expressing, express for 10 min, then 5 etc.
Good luck, I stopped at about 3 months in, was so relieved when it was over 👍

Apparently if you put cabbage in your bra, it dries your breast milk quicker. Not tried it myself but heard it
