Any tips for getting over the pain from weaning?

My daughter is 7 months and I have decided to stop breastfeeding. I thought it would be easy since she is on solids and my milk supply has decreased. Today is my first day of offering no feeds and my breasts are sooo sore and tender. I’m so tempted just to shove her on there so I can get some relief!

Any tips or info from others who have had to face this problem?

Maybe wean a little more gradually? Like decrease one feed every few days? That’s what I would do.

Otherwise just the old engorgement standbys of expressing a tiny bit to relieve pressure (but not stimulate) hot showers, cabbage leaves, etc.
