The best way to reduce milk flow is to allow the body to adjust to the changes in feeding. As you reduce how often you feed, your milk flow will adjust accordingly. A mascectomy is not the answer. Your body will do it. Just reduce feedings one at a time to allow your body to adjust so you won't feel engorged. Many women do this at some point either to transition the baby to cow's milk after one year of age, or if they are unable to pump when they return to work or for many other reasons. It is fairly easy. Allow yourself a few days in between each reduction. And just keep doing it until you get to the schedule you want. --These answers aren't very clear. The answer is yes. I only nurse at night. Just gradually cut back on your daytime feedings or pumping. I ONLY produce milk at night, after 7 pm, my breast never leak in the day at work!

What causes chronic urticaria angeoedema?

Anaphylaxis in a breastfeeding woman is a rare medical condition. Symptoms occur in the breastfeeding mother, and can include urticaria and angioedema shortly after the woman breastfeeds, although symptoms can be more severe and even include anaphylaxis. The cause of breastfeeding allergy is not completely clear, but most likely involves various hormones that are active during breastfeeding, such as prolactin and oxytocin. A report of breastfeeding allergy occurred in a woman three days after the birth of a third child, and only during breastfeeding. Similar symptoms happened after the birth of her second child. Other causes of allergy, including to foods, medicines, and latex, were not found. Women who experience allergic reactions with breastfeeding may be able to control symptoms with the use of antihistamines. Those with severe symptoms should have access to injectable epinephrine and may consider stopping breastfeeding.

Is it harmful to restart breastfeed after 4 months of stopping breastfeed?

No it's not harmful. You will probably want to work with a lactation consultant to relactate. You will want to use a dual electric pump every 2 to 3 hours for 15 minutes at a time. Every 4 hours overnight. You have to keep this schedule up to show your body to start breastfeeding again. To help your milk come in faster, use lactation herbs. Try Breastea from breastea.com it has increased my supply a lot. It will take a few weeks to get a good milk supply going again. In between pumpings, work on getting baby to latch back on the breast again.

As your baby nurses, your breasts will refill. You will need to wean your baby from breastfeeding. This means tapering off, not stopping cold turkey. As the "demand" for breast milk decreases, so will the production of milk decrease.
