Patient's question:
Recently, my child hasn't been eating well and has been overly reliant on me. Now that the child has grown up, I want to wean them off. My breasts have become swollen and painful, and my sleep has also been poor. What foods should I eat during the weaning period?Doctor's answer:
During the period of milk return, we should pay attention to eating less meat, drinking less water and soup, and eating less food. We can eat more vegetables, such as spinach, chives, and daylily. These vegetables have a lactation-suppressing effect. If there is too much milk and natural lactation suppression is not effective, we can also use medication to suppress lactation. Pay attention to breast hygiene and keep the mind relaxed. Remember not to hold the baby when the breasts are swollen to avoid touching or squeezing them.
