Patient's question:
I've had my baby for almost a year now. Recently, I've been thinking about weaning her off breast milk. My friend said that during the weaning process, your breasts can get engorged, which is really painful. So, I want to start eating some foods that can help with weaning in advance to avoid both myself and my baby being uncomfortable. What foods cause breast engorgement the fastest?Doctor's answer:
If the milk supply is currently low, this can be corrected through dietary therapy, such as bone marrow soup and crucian carp soup. You can also consult a lactation specialist for lactation treatment. If it does not improve, oral traditional Chinese medicine may be necessary. You can moderately increase your intake of foods like pig trotter soup. Additionally, you can visit a hospital for a physical examination to assess your condition and determine the appropriate treatment based on the results.Meanwhile, you can use formula milk to feed the child to prevent hunger and avoid malnutrition.
