Drying Up Milk question

If you read my "So Upset" post, you know that I am having problems getting my little Ashtyn to breast feed, and it has been two months. If I decide to stop stressing us both out, and let him take formula (which he digests very well), does anyone have any effective ways to dry my milk up as fast and painless as possible? How did you dry your own milk up? I don't want to give up and I feel like I am letting Ashtyn down, but I also feel like I am making him feel worse by forcing him. Thanks for the advice!

Allegra, decongestants, water pills, and not nursing or stimulating

Just drop one pumping session every three days or so, that way your body will just wind down and stop producing the milk.
BTW I added some more to your earlier post, have you considered a supplemental nursing system?

I agree that you should drop one session at a time every few days. When I weaned my eldest DD I took away one feed every week and it took me a month to wean completely. She was 6 mo so we were down to 4 feeds. Good luck.
