Help drying up supply please.

I quit BFing completely 10 days ago. I haven't pumped. I hand expressed a little bit on the left side because I had a tender, hard duct I didn't want to have issues in.

I already take Zyrtec D for my allergy induced asthma. I'm going to get cabbage leaves, but I'm unsure on how to use them. (Do you put new ones in once a day or change them out?)

I'm also 5 weeks pregnant.

I can explain why I weaned if anyone is interested, I'm not including it so this is shorter and not so rambly. :)

    I've heard sage and mint are helpful. Good luck!

    Change the cabbage leaves once they are all wilty, so several times a day. Get some peppermint patties or similar candy...that always lowers my supply. GL with the new pregnancy!

    A tight fitting bra and ice packs can help too
