yes but if you can put up with the pain it will just be a couple of days before you dry up..but you have to be carefull not to do anything to you breasts because any kind of stimulation will cause them to produce longer

I have a 6month old and am currently breastfeeding and expressing for him during the day as I am back at work. I have heard from a few people that to make your milk dry up quicker and to relieve pain - you can put COLD - CABBAGE LEAVES on them...(buy a whole cabbage and put it in the fridge)....then at least once or twice a day put the leaves on your breasts. I hope that helps!

when i stopped bf i did it slowly, less and less each day. so maybe pump 15 min, then 10 min the next day, then 5 min. or you could go by amounts...whatever would be easiet, you know your schedule and your body. i couldnt deal with the engourgement pains

Thanks, I`m not sure if i can take any drugs to help my milk dry up because i`m prego . Thats the whole reason I am doing this, my body can`t take this pregnancy along with my hungry daughter.

Yes if u pump it will tell ur breats to make more milk or keep up ur supply,when i needed to let my milk dry i was told if the pain gets unbearable to go sit in a hot bath and let ur breasts hang in the water and u can rub ur breasts from ur neck downwards just to relieve it a bit.I was given a rx for dostinex,u will be able to get it where u live its just kinda expensive.Its a oxytocin inhibitor makes the procces of milk drying much faster.
