hey i oso wondering abt the same thing ,as in how to stop breastfeeding. i found this article (someone here posted the link before) which i tot is quite useful:
When you wean from the pump (human milk is recommended for a minimum of one year),you can do it comfortably and safely by cutting back on pumping gradually.
Start by eliminating one daily pumping, give your body 2-3 days to adjust, and then eliminate another pumping, leavin your first and last pumpings of the day until the end. Repeat until youve weaned.
Keep the number of pumpings the same and stop pumping sooner. For example, if you normally get 4 ounces (120 mL) at a pumping, stop after 3 ounces (90 mL). Give your body a couple of days to adjust and then decrease by another ounce. Repeat until you no longer feel the need to pump.
NOTE:If you feel full at any time during weaning, pump to comfort not a full pumping, but long enough so that you comfort not a full pumping, but long enough so that your breasts feel comfortable. Leaving your breasts full increases your risk for pain and infection.
