It is best to gradually stop breast feeding. At present it appears that you have been feeding actively and since you are stopping abruptly it is getting painful. As you are looking at stopping, do not latch the baby but use a breast pump to express a few times a day to get relief. Slowly cut off expressing time and duration. You can do this paced over a few weeks. Breasts which get hard and lumpy may develop an infection and this will need treatment.

If ur idea is to completely stop breast feeding then consult ur gynac, the doctor can prescribe tablets to stop milk supply. and it will take 2-3 days of time. without tablets it will take more time and you need to keep extracting milk often and the pain is too much.
