Question
i started breastfeeding but after the first two days she didn't want it anymore so how do i stop the milk from producing after just three days because this really hurts

Answer
It is very rare for a baby to no longer want to nurse at only a couple days old. If you actually want to breastfeed, you can seek free counseling from many places to help you and your baby learn how to breastfeed since the benefits are so much better than formula and the formula can be harmful to the baby's system.  If you don't want to breastfeed, then you can put cabbage leaves on your breasts and leave them in your bra until they wilt. then put in new ones  until the milk is gone.

Good luck!
