Default Easy/Gentle Way to Stop breastfeeding?

Is there an easy way to slowly stop breastfeeding? Or does it have to be painful? Since your breasts fill up and then you have to wait it out?

limitme, believe it or not, cabbage leaves placed on the breasts are good for reducing painful breasts, when trying to reduce the milk supply.

limitme, first work on getting your milk supply to slow down by drinking sage tea. Drink it several times during the day. Ozzie is right, cabbage leave will minimize engorgement. Start with decreasing one feeding at a time. Morning was easiest for us. The last to end was nighttime feeding. You'll have to see what will work best for your situation and schedule.
