Healthy evening,
If you don’t breastfeed or pump , your body will eventually stop producing milk , but it can take up several weeks. Here are some things you can try to help your breasts stop making milk .
1. Express milk
2. Wearing a tight bras and applying cabbage leaves to the breast
3. Avoid stimulation to your breast

You can feed 2-3 times a day by pumping out not more
As stop milk secretion is not possible easily as it can affect your pregnancy
Feed the child by pumping out as mentioned amount above and if still more milk is there then you can dispose that in any plant .
If you feed more than this to your elder child the demand of him / her will increase and making your more deficiency with calcium
