Don`t try anything, just let your milk dry up. Don`t stimulate milk production trying it out. Don`t drink as oats drinks because stimulate milk production. You just have to wait for a while.

Gradually is best. Abruptly weaning may cause mastitis, which can make you very ill. Pay attention to your body. If your breasts are very uncomfortable, express just enough to "take the edge off", gradually decreasing the amounts you express over several days. A snug bra, good nutrition and lots of rest will help.
