Do you need to empty the milk before weaning?

Patient's question:

I've had my baby for one month now, and currently, the baby's feeding situation isn't very good. Sometimes my breasts feel full, and it always makes me feel uncomfortable. I want to find a reasonable way to solve this. Can it work? Before weaning, do I need to empty the milk?

Doctor's answer:

When taking postpartum milk-suppressing medication without a period, do not express milk or stimulate the breasts. Avoid foods that increase milk production during weaning, and try not to express milk when there is no tenderness. If milk expression stimulates the breasts to produce new milk, it will be difficult to extract the milk. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection and maintain a good mood. You can drink less soup and water and eat more chives during weaning.
