My son took about a month to stop nursing. When I stopped pushing the issue, he nursed less and less, and my body made less milk. I dropped quickly down to just once a night, then once a week. It never hurt, and I just stopped making. I don't know if everyone transitions like that, but it was painless for me.

The australia breastfeeding association has a booklet on relactation. But I am not really sure on what is involved with this process. the booklet is a couple of dollars to buy. http://www.mothersdirect.com.au/catalogue/id/68/cid/763/parent/0/pid/2/t/catalogue/title/ABA+booklet%3A+Relactation+And+Adoptive+Breastfeeding
