Patient's question:
Milk never seems to be enough for the baby. Sigh, when I just gave birth, around the third to fifth day, the milk was so abundant that it couldn't be finished. After about seven or eight days, it always wasn't enough to eat. My mother-in-law told me to eat some red beans. Do red beans help increase or decrease milk production?Doctor's answer:
Sometimes weaning can be a painful process. If the milk supply has already significantly decreased towards the end of breastfeeding, you can stop nursing and gradually allow the milk to be reabsorbed. This is a simple method, but it takes a long time. In most cases, weaning medication is required. The most commonly used weaning medication is high-dose estrogen. This weaning method works quickly and is reliable, but it occasionally increases the risk of blood clots. It is essential to stay active and avoid lying in bed all the time.Alternatively, high-dose vitamin B6 can be used for weaning, which is a traditional method with fewer side effects, but it takes longer to reduce milk supply. Drometanide and other prolactin inhibitors can also be used for weaning. This method provides moderate weaning effectiveness but may cause side effects such as dizziness.
