I haven't weaned yet, but I can say to be VERY CAREFUL with going cold turkey!! Especially if you make any sort of large volume of milk each day.
I dropped from 5 pumps to 3.5 over a long weekend away from the LO, and got an awful case of mastitis. I was totally out of commission (ie bedridden) for 2 days due to it. You really won't be able to take care of your 4 kids if you get it!!
If you have the time, I would recommend dropping minutes and dropping pumps gradually over the course of a week or two. (Others who have actually weaned may be able to help you out with specific timing tips)
