Congratulations on having got this far. Sympathy for your current problem. No easy solution. Be sure that you've reconciled yourself with the decision to stop breast feeding. Being tired and having had enough of it is one thing but adjusting to the change and acknowledging that your baby is growing up - this is emotionally challenging. If you have a partner, other relative or willing friend, get them on board for a week...Much less distressing if you have the practical and moral support of a non milk bearing person on the scene. Commit this person to all feeding and sleep tasks - expect to need to do this for up to a week. Wear a sports bra top or similar very tight fitting clothing and plenty of clothes without zips or buttons over that. The tight top might sound uncomfortable but it does usually help with preventing engorgement and it puts temptation out of LO's sight/mind. If you can feel yourself filling up with milk, apply a warm compress and hand express until you feel comfortable again. Focus on the positive aspects of what you're doing - you will feel less tired, so better for your lo by day; s/he will gain new skills and grow in independence. It will be a very rewarding experience for any friend or relative who helps you. Whatever you decide to do, it will be the right thing for you and your LO at the time - ignore any advice (well intentioned or otherwise) that suggests any differently. Best of luck.
