after that you can have medications to stop milk production immediately or stop feeding completely.
it will dry up on its own
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy4 years agoA. Drop one breastfeed at a time, and wait a few days before you drop the next one. This will also be easier on your breasts, which might get engorged if you stop too suddenly.
Consider dropping daytime breastfeeds first, then gradually drop any bedtime or night-time feeds – these are probably the ones that give your child the most comfort.
Introduce a few limits, like not breastfeeding when you’re out, or feeding only after lunch during the day.
Introduce activities and outings into your daily routine so your child is too busy and distracted to think about breastfeeding.
Occasionally replace a breastfeed with a ‘grown-up’ alternative. Your child might be excited about having a special but healthy drink like a babyccino at a café when they’d normally be at home having a breastfeed.
Try the ‘out of sight, out of mind’ principle. This involves leaving your child with someone they’re comfortable with at times when they’d normally have a breastfeed. Your child will be less likely to miss breastfeeding if you’re not around.
