Patient's question:
My body is quite weak, and during weaning, my breasts always feel sore, which is sometimes unbearable. My childhood friend introduced me to massage as a way to wean. So, I'm asking, do lactation consultants help with weaning?Doctor's answer:
When breastfeeding women return to breastfeeding, they can ask lactation educators to help them regain their milk supply. Now, lactation educators undergo training and obtain certification, so the techniques for increasing milk supply are excellent, and it is still very effective to invite a lactation educator in time. However, everyone must choose a qualified lactation educator. Women can also stimulate their own milk supply during weaning. Breastfeeding can be achieved through breast massage. Some women stop breastfeeding because of poor blood circulation in the breasts or due to compression. In this case, you can massage the base of the breasts in a clockwise direction for 30 minutes every day. After a few days, there will be a noticeable effect. Women will find that their milk production has increased.
