My 7 week old daughter stopped breast feeding the day we brought her home from the hospital so I have been pumping and bottle feeding ever since. I want to stop pumping and switch over to formula but I don't know how. I have had mastitis in each breast and now I think I have thrush due to the 2nd round of antibiotics - which I am currently taking now. I went from pumping every 3 hours to every 6 hours (increasing by 1 hour every week) and thought my milk supply would decrease but it has actually increased. From what I read I'm suppose to cut out a pumping session - that means I would have to go 12 hours between pumping sessions. At 6 hours I'm already in a bit of pain - is this the only way to stop? I'm afraid I'm going to get mastitis again. How long do I cut out 1 session and move to cutting out 2 sessions? I just want my breasts back to normal...can anyone help?View Thread
