Patient's question:
Because I need to wean the baby, my breasts are swollen, and I'm drinking barley tea. I heard that vitamin B6 is also helpful. I don't know if I can use them together?Doctor's answer:
Vitamin B6 and barley tea both achieve the purpose of weaning by inhibiting the secretion of prolactin from the hypothalamus. Vitamin B6 is more effective, and it is recommended to take this medication. 200mg of Vitamin B6, three times a day, for three consecutive days. Regardless of the method used for weaning, it requires a process, and this process will not make the milk disappear immediately, so breast swelling and pain during weaning are unavoidable. Normally, avoid wearing tight bras and continue breastfeeding. Generally, milk can return within a week.
