How to stop breastfeeding naturally without taking medication?

6y trước

Once breast/nipple stimulation is less, the hormone (prolactin) will decrease. To wean naturally, just gradually prolong the timing between feeds/pumps, and reduce the amount each time. Consider cold compress. You may also ask your GP/gynae for a dose of "anti-hormone" (Brand name Dostinex) to have a quick-stop, but it is not immediate. You will need to relief pressure from your breasts.
