There isn't one anymore. Doctors suggest to let your breasts dry up naturally nowdays. The shot & pill made women sick or worse, causing other problems.
Best suggestions is to not nurse the baby or toddler any longer. Wearing a sports bra may help keep the breasts closer to the body to help stop milk production.

Actually this might sound really weird... But, it really works. I'm into herbal healing.. Go to the produce section of a grocery store. Get a FRESH head of cabbage. Every 3-4hrs have your daughter put a leaf of cabbage in her bra. It has to be a tight bra. Cabbage leaves have a perfect shape to wrap the breast. There is something in Cabbage leaves that draw out breast milk. This is better than taking medication. She will only have to do it for 2 days if she wears a tight bra and uses the cabbage leaves. Good Luck!

There used to be a pill and shot to dry up milk, but in America they no longer use it. The best thing for her to help dry up her milk is to get an ace bandage and tightly wrap it around her bras. Dont let warm water hit them either.

I know there used to be. I don't know anymore, she should call her ob. If she lets it go naturally, her boobs will be engorged for a day or two, but it won't take very long. Just have her wear a sports bra. That's what I did with my first baby, whom I didn't nurse.

Doctors used to precribe a pill but now you have to let it dry up on it's own.

there use to be but in the USA they no longer give it , I have been through this and the best thing to help reduce the pain, is a sports bra with ice packs this helped me through it and that is what my ob-gyn suggested, it is pain full to go through but it will go away, best of luck
