Former EPers - Drying up question

auburnbride2be

So, I have EPd for about 5 months now and am trying to wean. I have a freezer stash I'm using, but I am down to pumping once a day. It's not really painful, but more uncomfortable than anything. So, after about 5 days of pumping 1x per day, I'm going to stop. Do you recommend I try anything else or do anything else? I have been in the process of weaning for weeks. I have gone from pumping 6-7x per day to once.

I just wore a TIGHT bra and TIGHT tank top because it hurt for them to move at all.  It took about 3 days for them to stop hurting and be hard.

When I got to once a day, I was still in pain. So, I had a couple days where I pumped like once every 36 hours, just to relieve the pain. Then I was able to just stop completely. It took me a few weeks to wean too. I think you should be fine to just quit if you can take the discomfort.

At that point I had to hand express at work once or twice, but otherwise it was ok. I still needed to wear breast pads for another 2 wks until I totally dried up.
