Patient's question:
My breast milk is too much, after weaning, the milk is yellow and sticky. What is the reason for the sticky breast milk?Doctor's answer:
After weaning, the milk becomes yellow and sticky, which is considered a normal phenomenon. The appearance of yellow and sticky milk after weaning is likely due to protein and reduced water content. This is a normal condition and does not require treatment. Sometimes, friends may experience this phenomenon for half a year after weaning, and it does not require treatment. If there is swelling, pain, or discomfort, it may indicate mastitis, in which case local heat application can be used for treatment. You can also add complementary foods to see if it helps. The complementary foods should be chosen for easy digestion.
