Question...

ok, I figured this would be the place to ask this... But I have done a LOT of thinking and working trying to bring my milk supply back up for my 6 month old son, but unfortonatly I can't keep up with his demand. So I am switching him to formula, I've already been suplimenting with the formula. So my question is, how do I get my milk to dry up? I'm never full anymore so no worries about engorged boobs (not that I know of yet). But are there any steps I need to take, or things I should do? I dunno just wondering if you could lend me some advice... Thanks!

cold compacts, cabbage leaves?, avoiding hot water, wear a tighter bra (sports bra)

i never knew if there was a method to stopping but i just stopped flat out with my daughter....but you say youre not engorged so thats good because when i stopped omg it hurt soooo bad! they got really engorged and milk was pouring out but i couldnt do anything or else it would up the milk supply, but good luck!

i had the same problem, except i had to switch by three weeks   but my littke girl is fine, but i just let it dry up on its own....maybe there is something you are suposed to do but not that i was aware of and mine dried up in a couple weeks

You don't need to do anything to dry up. You keep the milk by having the baby nurse.

If you don't want to completely stop breastfeeding you could just feed him at night or in the morning. When I weaned my first son at 16 months he was down to only nursing 2 maybe 3 times a day. In the morning we would cuddle in bed, before nap time and before bed time.

Thanks ladies... Actually Mrs Z I haven't even thought about that, I might just try that. Thanks!

Yup.
I remember weaning my son, I missed it so bad. He did too. When he came in my bed in the morning he would pull at my shirt and just be so sad when he didn't get any. 

aww poor guy. So far my little man doesn't care if it's coming from me or a bottle or a spoon for that fact. But I know I'm gonna miss it more then him, that is why I am seriously considering keeping morning feedings, and the rest food and formula for as long as I can. Thanks again for the idea!
