Drying breast milk

Asked for Female, 31 Years

Hi Doctor, My wife has been expressing milk for about 2 months using an electric pump and due to doctor's recommendation we are trying to stop milk. We were prescribed cabgoline 0.5. on the first day of stopping breasts have become too heavy and engorged. We are confused and scared at the same time as one side already she had infection and surgery to remove pus. Thanks
