[quote=Anonymous]OP, as others have said the first few weeks are the hardest. Even if you stopped nursing/pumping tomorrow the issues you’re dealing with (engorgement, leaking) would not stop right away. In fact it would get worse, and you’d run the risk of mastitis (which is seriously no fun at all). No matter what, your body is going to be going through this for a few more weeks, whether you’re nursing or not. This is part of post partum. You’re 2 weeks in. Could you set yourself a timeframe? Like 2 more weeks? Or even until baby’s 2 month vaccinations? That may seem like a long time but it goes quickly. Some of the discomfort you’re experiencing may abate by then and you may find nursing is convenient or not so bad. Or if you still don’t like it, then you can make the decision to stop. If you’re sure you want to stop now, drop one feed/pump a week. Seriously, mastitis with a newborn is pretty wretched. [/quote]
