Patient's question:
Can I still breastfeed after drinking galactagogues? Will it have any impact on the baby? What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
After taking the weaning formula, from an eugenic perspective, it is not appropriate to continue breastfeeding the infant.1. Barley malt is the main ingredient in Huinengbao, although barley malt does not have toxic side effects, other ingredients in Huinengbao may affect the baby's health.
2. The decision to wean the infant has already been made. You cannot give up halfway, otherwise the baby will experience more weaning pain. Additionally, after taking the weaning formula, the baby will continue to drink milk, which may lead to discomfort such as diarrhea.
3. During the weaning period, avoid consuming foods with a lot of broth, do not squeeze or rub the breasts, and wear cotton underwear.
4. During the weaning period, the breasts may be covered with warm towels due to severe breast engorgement.
