I was pumping for almost first fourth months and then switched to nursing  for 2 weeks. Go masiatis or clogged ducts and now i want to be done it was scary. I'm back to pumping 5-6 times a day at 15-20 mins a piece.How can I wean off without getting sick? I surpassed my 4 month goal and it all be 5 months on the 18th. It's time to hang up my flanges. I'm feeling a little stressed, having issues in marriage right now, want my boobs back, want a little more sleep and simply wanna enjoy my time with my baby before I go back to work.. It's been hard to quit. I thought I would go 3 months and then till xmas now xmas is over... I think I just have to be brave. Tips? What's best cabbage leaves I between pumps or Benadryl? I want to safely dry up.

    Reduce your pump time to 10 minutes. Wait 3 days, then drop a session. Drop a session every 3-4 days to give your body time to adjust.

    I thought it was Sudafed, not Benadryl. Benadryl is an antihistamine. Sudafed dries up bodily fluids (like mucous and BM). I could be wrong but double check

    My lactation concultant said to skip pumping sessions...if you still get full to the point where it hurts just pump until the pain goes away & stop. If you have a hand pumpb pump with that because it doesn't completely drain you. You can also soak your breasts in hot water in the sink.

    Rubbing nipples with soap when taking a shower can also help.
