breast milk production is due to prolactin and we need to suppress that if the female doesnot desires to breast feed...tight bra and limiting fluid in not going to be of much help...

Bromocriptine for post partum lactation suppression is not recommended. There have been several reports in the literature recently in which bromocriptine has been associated with fatal myocardial infarction and severe cerebrovascular accidents in the postpartum period in mothers taking bromocriptine for ablactation http://www.utoronto.ca/kids/breastmilk.html
