Patient's question:
If you wean a child without taking medication, it will naturally wean. Will the pain from the engorged milk be relieved after it subsides, and will it affect milk production when having a second child? Will the milk be less?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to respond to you. Natural weaning does not affect milk production for the second child, but it may have an impact on the mother. Because milk can accumulate in the milk ducts, some women may develop mastitis, which is characterized by local redness, swelling, and pain in the breasts, as well as an elevated temperature. It is recommended that you express milk promptly during the weaning period to reduce milk accumulation. For specific situations, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. I hope my response is helpful to you.
