Can you immediately take postpartum lactation suppression medication after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Please ask if it's okay to take weaning medication immediately after giving birth. A new mother who has had her baby for five days and has taken weaning medication for two days still has a lot of milk.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you want to wean, you can rinse raw malt with water, drink less soup, and do not express milk to avoid affecting the weaning process. If you do not plan to wean, you can continue breastfeeding, as it generally will not be affected. Pay attention to rest, avoid cold and raw foods, and monitor your milk production. It is recommended to empty your breasts every two to three hours. After 24 to 48 hours, you can directly breastfeed.
