I don’t want to lactate anymore

Are you pumping or direct feeding? Definitely wean. If you pump for 20 mins for example, start pumping for 15 then slowly decrease the time every couple days. You can use cabbage leaves as well. Also, if you did yourself getting uncomfortable during the process you can hand express for relief but making your body think you don’t need the milk, it’ll decrease

I used cabbage leaves to slowly stop my milk production. Took a period of 5-6 days for it to totally go. I kept fresh pair of leaves in fridge and changed 2-3 times a day. I started to reduce pumping sessions by 5 mins every day and if I felt uncomfortable, I hand expressed a little. I found that this really worked for me x A bit of context, I was overproducing and could express 200ml in 20 minutes! Good luck x

I reduced my pumping to three times a day and to about 12-15 minutes from 20 minutes for about a week and then reduced to twice a day (morning and before bed) for about 10 minutes and did that for about a week or two and then did once a day at night before bed and finally just stopped, I did not have any issues but I also only pumped for a month and didn’t nurse. Breastfeeding was not for me.

My dr recommended cabbage leaves or wearing a couple tight fitting bras(like sport bras) and using cold packs to help with discomfort..and not letting water directly hit breasts while showering so that they aren’t getting stimulated, worked pretty quick for me
