Patient's question:
What foods can help with weaning, and how long does it usually take?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: There are many methods to stop lactation, both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine can be used. TCM methods include using sprouted wheat to reduce lactation, while Western medicine uses estrogen for the same purpose. During the lactation reduction period, it is advisable to avoid consuming soupy or watery foods. The typical duration for stopping lactation is about one week.Suggestions: While engorged breasts can also help reduce lactation, this method is not recommended as it may lead to breast infections. If you choose to stop lactation, you should no longer breastfeed the child, as this will not achieve the desired outcome.
