how to dry up breastmilk?

meg_2006

Due to some problems, I am not able to breastfeed LO.  In the meantime, I have two different doctors each giving me different advice on how to dry up my breastmilk.  For the past week I have been pumping out my milk, spreading out how often I pump and pumping less time each session.  This is what one doctor told me to do.  I am now down to only pumping about every 6 hours, 5 min/side, getting 1.5-2 ounces total.  My OBGYN today told me to just quit cold turkey, that weaning wasn't necessary and just spread out the process.

 What have you ladies done before? Going cold turkey kind of scares me, but at the same time I'm tired of being hooked up to the pump!
