Help with stopping BF

I've decided that enough is enough pretty much. Ive given it a bloody good go, but Lily just isnt settling or getting full anymore. I'm having to top her up with formula after every feed and it's so stressful. Even after feeding for an hour off both sides, she still wants more so formula is it for us. I mean, she probably is having a big growth spurt which is fine, but I have a toddler to think about as well who is getting super sh*tty because mummy is constantly feeding the baby and I dont have any time for him :(

My question is, apart from taking milk stop or whatever it is, is there anything else i can do to help stop the milk production? I'm *hoping* that i'm going to be seeing my midwife this week - havent seen anyone since last week and i'm not sure if my MW is even back from holiday! Help!

I had tons of milk (i stopped at 3 months) but what I did was half the feeds. So every 2nd feed was formula rather than breast and did that for a couple of days and then stopped. I had rock hard boobs the next day, just hand expressed a teeny bit to take the edge off and then it was fine.

I went cold turkey and got mastitis, so I would just gradualy cut the feeds down, or express off a bit in the shower each day so you dont have that build up. You could also try the milk stop pills from the health shop, its natural. I used the milk flow in the same range to up my supply and it was brilliant!

Cold cabbage in your bra works wonders, just put it in cold and change it every 2-3 hours. I couldn't BF with DS and this is the advice I was given by my MW, it sounds a bit daft but it worked and within 2-3 days I was no longer engorged and sore and not long after that it stopped altogether.

I'm also going cold turkey so will hand express for comfort as I have a lot of milk. I'm going cold turkey as per paediatricians recommendation. How long does it generally take for the milk to dry up and boob size to decrease/return to normal?

there is some "No Milk" spray you can get from chemists and Health 2000 stores that stops it

Massage the lumps Alex, do it in the shower as the heat helps.

cabbage leaves down your bra to help with engorgement!

last time i stopped cold turkey with heaps and heaps of milk no issue..but if i can ever get L to take a bottle I will be going slower this time cause of the mastitis...so glad its going ok for you!
