I thought it would be a lot easier to stop because it would mean that I'm done w/ the pump, but I really want to keep going. We're going on a 5-day trip w/o DD in 8 weeks, so I want to be done by then because it's going to be too hard to try to pump and keep the milk. </p> <p>I'm not taking anything for the pain. I decided that dropping an entire session was not going to work, so I'm pumping about 1/2 oz less than I normally would at each session. So far that's been working and isn't too painful. I make sure to really massage the breast while pumping to make sure that the milk flows and (hopefully) doesn't clog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ice-your-boobs-when-you-stopped-pumpingnursing#post-302782 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:24:28 +0000 Mrs. Bee 302782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pump them a little bit to relieve engorgement, but not til empty. i gradually stopped over 2 weeks -- pumped a little bit less and went longer and longer in between -- and didn't have any problems.</p> <p>good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ice-your-boobs-when-you-stopped-pumpingnursing#post-302764 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:16:05 +0000 autumnlove 302764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Yesterday was fine and my boobs felt normal ...but I am so engorged and in pain today! I'm also so sad about weaning! :-( Are you taking anything for the pain? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-ice-your-boobs-when-you-stopped-pumpingnursing#post-302698 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:38:08 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 302698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I wanted to ask you how you were doing w/ your weaning.
