I stopped bfing my DD "cold turkey", so was expressing only enough to keep feeling comfortable, cutting back gradually as everyone has suggested. You've had great advice already, so the only thing I'll add is that I really found it beneficial to have hot showers - the water relieved pressure and the couple of little lumps that I had forming seemed easier to massage away under the hot water.

Sorry to hijack your post but I have to say this. Alan, you're a champion! To be able to get information and support from a professional such as yourself without the slightest hint of judgment or disapproval makes the world of difference to us mums. I wish I had been surrounded by more people like you when I made the decision to stop BFing my DD - it would have saved a world of heartache.
