Is there a side effect of drinking barley tea when weaning?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am a young woman, 30 years old. I have just started drinking it for two days, and during these two days I found that I still have bloating and pain. I am still drinking it and also taking weaning medication. Please ask if there are any side effects of drinking barley tea for weaning.

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to consume barley tea to help with milk suppression, while also incorporating many other milk-suppressing foods such as: chives, malt, fresh loquat leaves, stir-fried eggs with fragrant fern, rolled oats, malted milk powder, fresh hawthorn, and Sichuan peppercorns. If the breasts are swollen and painful, you can express some milk, but do not completely empty them, as this may increase milk production, which would be counterproductive. For this condition, patients should not only receive necessary treatment but also pay attention to self-care in their daily lives, ensuring a healthy routine. This will help them recover more quickly.
