You should pump for just a minute or two to relieve the pain. It might take a little longer to dry up, but it won't be as uncomfortable.

Re: drying up breastmilk
I was better after a week. I used the cabbage leaves and also was told to avoid getting them wet with warm water in the shower. And always wore a tight sports bra.

Re: drying up breastmilk
Took me about 2 weeks to dry up. I constantly wore a tight sports bra even at night. I tried cabbage leaves as well. Time and advil is what did it for me!

Re: drying up breastmilk
I read mint can dry it up. Maybe drink peppermint tea or suck on some peppermints...can't hurt.
