Slowly wean: The AAP recommends exclusive breast-feeding for first six months after birth & and breast-feeding in combination with solids foods until at least 1. Slowly tapering off how long & how often you breast-feed each day, over the course of weeks or months, will cause your milk supply to gradually diminish & prevent discomfort caused by engorgement. Consider dropping mid day feed(s) first.

Several choices: I have had some moms cold turkey(put baby on a bottle and bind with a prepregnancy bra)& everybody in the house is miserable but a week or so later its done, i don't advise this. Some will start each feed and interupt baby after 3-5 minutes per breast (take off enough to feel soft) switch then bottle till full.Some will drop one feed every few days.All seem to work, the sweat equity is what varies
