stopping bf-ing

Hi Ladies,

I am stopping BF so I've read to slowly do it by dropping feedings. I'm down to 3 a day ( I EP) for 6 minutes a session). The doctor prescribed me bromocriptine ( a med used to dry up milk/has to do with the prolactin released). DId any of you take this? How long did it take for you to not be painfully engorged or leaking? When do you think I should drop another session? Did the medicine help if you took it? thanks for the advice!

    I just took sudafed to dry up my supply. I stretched out the time between pumping & limited my session time or I would hand express just until it didn't hurt. I dried up fairly fast & didn't have any problems.

    Since you are only pumping 3x/day it shouldn't take you long to dry up. I would also put a cold pack on for the pain.
