Stopping BF/pumping

My supply is super low - only pumping 1-2oz the whole day - i have decided to just give DS formula but not sure if i can stop pumping cold turkey or do i need to ween off it?

I pump about 6 times a day but only get very little so not sure if id be able to just stop and or your supposed to do it slowly?

Re: Stopping BF/pumping

I think you can stop cold turkey and only pump if for some reason you feel engorged.

And I would only pump to relieve the feeling, not empty the breast entirely.

Since you aren't producing that much, I think you can stop cold turkey. Like PP said, just pump to releive engorgment.
