I've reached my BFing goal! Question about weaning...
This Friday DD will be 6 months old!!! 6 months was my goal to EBF (well ok...6 DAYS was my initial goal and thankfully it has gone well!). 3 days ago I started giving her 1 FM bottle a day to see how she would tolerate it and so far so good. I go back to work on Thursday ( ) so I will BF in the am and PM for a bit longer and give her pumped bottles/FM bottles during the day.
How can I make the engorgement issue less painful? Stop pumping/nursing cold turkey or gradually?

what an incredible accomplishment!!!
the engorgement will ease as it adjusts to your new schedule!! just give it a few days and you should be fine!
