Even though I weaned cold turkey my first I can't seem to remember what or how I did it. We started formula today and I have not pumped or had her latch, so far so good, but I don't want to be engorged. Tips please!

Get a tight sports bra or bind your breasts because the compression will help, hand express a tiny amount if you have to to keep yourself comfortable, and watch out for signs of mastitis. Cabbage leaves in your bra is something I was always told, but never tried so I cant speak for how effective it is.
Good luck!

@crystbum: I can vouch for the cabbage leaves, also I used to freeze those nipple pads - you'll feel like frozen coleslaw but it works!
