A member asked:
I would like to stop breastfeeding. is there medication i can take to stop milk production? do i need a prescription?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: medications used in past years have very negative side effects, and only delay the natural engorgement process about 2 weeks. Try not feeding and wearing a breast binder/bra, cabbage leaves in the bra, no warm water striking breasts or pumping.
