Take allergy medicine. When my son turned 1 I was done breastfeeding so my doctor said antihistamine in medicine dries ur milk up. Get the nin drowsy kind. Took about a week.

They'll dry up on their own.  Wear a good support bra. Mine dried up in a couple weeks. ..I've heard the cabbage leaves work.
