Patient's question:
I haven't been able to feed the baby for a few days because of a cold. I've been manually expressing the milk, but it hasn't been completely empty. Today, I suddenly noticed a problem: one breast is very full after a night without expressing, while the other is less full. Also, the milk flow isn't as fast as it was yesterday. Is this a sign of weaning?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, the symptoms you are experiencing occurred after temporarily stopping breastfeeding due to a cold. It is still considered to have mild weaning symptoms.Advice: You must take this seriously. If you ignore this situation, the outcome will be a lack of milk. Therefore, it is best to start now and regularly express or pump out all the milk.
