You can try suppressing milk production by using cabbage leave compress. Apply the cabbage leaves over the entire breast and areola, but leave the nipple exposed. Replace with new leaves as soon as the leaves begin to wilt. It is best if you keep the cabbage refrigerated before use.

You can also try sage tea using your kitchen herbs. Place a few leaves in a cup of hot water and allow to infuse for 15 minutes. Drink this 3 times daily. Hopefully if the milk production stops, your son will no longer want the breast.

You can also place some aloe vera on your nipples to give it a bitter taste

All the best
