XP: Done with EP - Advice

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

I have been EPing but LO has had bad GI issues.  We FF for 1 week and she did good - tried BM and after 2 days all her issues are back.  So - we are done with BM, FF only from this point forward.

My question is - how do I get my milk to dry up?  Do I just stop pumping or wean off, or what? Help! TIA

    I would drop a pumping session and follow your body. If you just drop it cold turkey, it's going to be painful. You can also try teas that claim to dry you up.

    You should wean off the pump. If you stop cold turkey you run the risk of a clogged duct. Drop a session every few days so that your body adjusts down. You can take cold medicine to help dry up faster too. I've also heard cabbage leaves work well.

    Here is a link to kellymom on how to wean off the pump. HTH

    It took me a couple weeks.  I just pumped when it was uncomfortably full.
