So due to my own health, (starting some new medication soon and having a big increase in current medication), I can unfortunately no longer give my lg any breastmilk with the risks/side effects to her through the milk. Absolutely devastated but I need to be the best version of myself for both my girls and fiancé.
How do I go about getting milk production to slow? I breastfeed through the night (1-3x), a couple during the day and express 2-3 times throughout the day/before bed. I also don’t have much of a freezer stash because it’s really high lipase and I don’t want it to be wasted🥲
I am also going to use some colostrum from my first baby and some milk from this time to have made into a ring so any recommendations for companies too would be appreciated xx

Have you checked with the breastfeeding network rather than just your GP about the safety of the medication?

Oh yes like Dee and Gem say, pretty much never trust a doctor on this topic, because they have no idea. Hopefully this website answers it
Otherwise you can also call the national breastfeeding helpline for advice (free and number is online)
