[quote=Anonymous]Dropping one feed at at time works well, and then nurse or pump for comfort. Going slowly and giving a few days between changes to adjust will be comfortable and will avoid clogged ducts or other issues. For you, I would stop nursing at naptime and pump once in the afternoon/evening. After a few days, you can skip the evening and continue to nurse (or pump) in the morning. When you are ready to drop the morning feed, pump for comfort, reducing the time each day. It will probably be a week or so from dropping the last feed before you feel like you don't need to pump any more. You can find tips online for ways to make your milk dry up more quickly, but I think taking it slow is more comfortable, and yes there is a risk of mastitis or clogged ducts if you go too quickly. Going slowly will also help you adjust to the hormonal shift. The hormonal shift is very real, so don't be surprised if you feel sad/depressed/emotional for a few weeks as you wean.[/quote]
