I have no intention of stopping breastfeeding my 6.5mo baby. I really enjoy the bonding time and most of all he keeps me slim! 
Yesterday, I accidentally discovered a way to stop the breastmilk production naturally; for those who wants to wean of their baby off their boobs.
Eat Guava, lots of it to stop breastmilk production. That was what I ate the day before yesterday. I ate almost half of a huge Guava. The next day, my boobs didn’t want to fill up. I thought I did not eat enough, which was partly true coz I ate my lunch at 9.45am and dinner at 4.50pm and no snacks in between coz baby was latching most of the time due to lack of breastmilk. Towards late evening, he got very frustrated. On top of it, I did not have time to cook his solid meal coz I was rushing to send my eldest girl to art class.
Pacing to and fro under the Arc Lamp trying to figure out where it went wrong. Wrote my frustration in FB and I received lots of tips on how to increase breastmilk production and Sasha asked me whether I ate Guava. I almost can’t breathe when I read that coz I want more breastmilk, not stop it.
So, I went to drink lots of water, drank Milo with Oat, ate bread and swallowed 1/2 tsp of Fenugreek. By midnight, the breastmilk started to produce again and this time, my baby pulak cannot breathe while drinking; the flow is too fast coz a lot of breastmilk!
Phew! Guava is banned from my list of fruits.
If any of you know of any fruit or food that can stop breastmilk production, please share with me ok? TQ.
Stumble it!
oh my colleague is asking me how to stop..but i told her not to…let it stop naturally if possible.. cos milk formula is really expensive these days.. and breastfeeding is so natural and nutritious.. the bonding is there too, as u said.. and look at baby EZRA! haha…
oopss.. never kena never know ya.. I am not a guava fan, but will keep this in my brain not to see it.. (I got more excuse now not to eat that) :p
BTW, my mum says the alternative if we do not want to swallow the Fenugeek, we put hot water to it, and drink it.. as though we drink water.. but I don’t think I can take the spice smell.. So, I still swallow…
and now my mum ask to use that to make shampoo, and it seems good for hair fall control..
Didn’t know guava will stop milk production leh… I will try it next year when Maine is 1 and time to wean her off my neh nehs… Fenugreek… I will go get some today!!!
I didn’t know that either. Ok, will def eat loads of guava when I weane Baby off my boops. I want to weane now but she’s getting more and more addicted to them. Sigh, don’t know how to wean oso.
Ooo….thanks for sharing that!
