Is it ok to wean my baby quickly?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes but it will likely make you uncomfortable as your breasts will be more engorged than if you wean slowly.

No: Breastfeeding is sufficient to support optimal growth and development for approximately the first 6 months of life and provides continuing protection against diarrhea and respiratory tract infection. So keep on doing it and do not rush!
