All done question

DS jut turned 1 and was only nursing at 5 AM. He would nurse for 5 to 10 minutes and go back to sleep till 7:30 or 8. So I figured he was only doing it out of habit. The past 4 days when he woke up, I went in his room and either patted his butt or rocked him and he went back to sleep right away. So I guess we are officially done nursing. I stopped pumping when he was 11 months. My boobs hurt! How can I dry up my supply so I don't get mastitis? Besides pumping once a day? I already put my pump in storage and I don't plan on busting that thing out till the next one! TIA

    Cold cabbage leaves in your bra and sudafed are two things I've heard work well.

    Sage dries you up, as does peppermint. Try peppermint tea. I probably wouldn't pop a sudafed, but you can manually express a little to relieve some engorgement, then try cold therapy to ease the pain. If you were down to one session a day, it should be gone within a few days, but wait a few weeks to buy new bras. ;
