How to deal with engorged and hard breasts after weaning

Patient's question:

Now there are many hard lumps, which are very uncomfortable, hard as a rock. During weaning, engorged breasts are very painful. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently breastfeeding and want to wean, you can take weaning medication in a timely manner to speed up the weaning process. If there are hard lumps during the weaning process, you can warm compress your breasts. At the same time, avoid drinking too much soup. You can continue to take weaning pills or roasted malt. If the breast engorgement is unbearable, you can also use a breast pump to extract a small amount of milk. It is best to persist in drinking barley tea, as it can help with weaning. Pay attention to getting enough rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain a good mood.
