Today makes 1 full week of breastfeeding & its taking a toll on me because im also recovering from csection. how do i slowly stop breastfeeding without the risk of mastitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Introduce formula to alternate with breast feeding, slowly eliminating breast feeding with wider intervals covered by formula, as your infant becomes accommodated to formula. Mastitis can be painful, so with redness/pain see your OB provider for treatment.
