How do I abruptly and painlessly wean my toddler?
I would get some help with learning to express one way or another (pump or hand), and do a fake wean that way. If you haven’t tried a machine pump, perhaps you could hire one for a short time because it’s pretty fail-safe – I could even use a machine in the early days when I really, really struggled with feeding. Chemists and hospitals hire them out quite inexpensively, I think. You could then use the milk to fortify your baby’s meals by mixing it into foods while you wean. Good luck with it!
