The pill to dry up breast milk
The pill to dry up breast milk
Has anyone taken the pill to dry up your breast milk? I've been feeding dd for almost 18 months and I don't want to feed her anymore but she has other ideas about the matter. I've tried reducing feeds but it's taking forever and I just can't do it anymore

As in birth control pill?
My mum didn't have birth control to dry up her milk with me, but the doc gave her a prescription for a medication which dried up her milk in a day. That was over 20 years ago tho but I think u can still get it.

Just take a few Zyrtec or other antihistamine a day.

There is medication which you can discuss with your GP. I weaned my 18 month old by going from twice a day for a couple of weeks to once at night then none at all. He adjusted quicker than I thought and i was really nervous about it at the time. I was also so over it as well. I just offered a sippy cup and food and overnight just water in the sippy. He got used to it very quickly.

Yes birth control pill. I spoke with my gp this morning about it and she recommended it over the medication designed to dry it up because of the side effects

Yes I took it, made me a little sick but it worked! Within a week my milk was pretty much gone!
