Patient's question:
My child has been with us for more than a week now, but recently I want to go back to work. How many days does it take to wean off breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Weaning takes about a week to stop milk engorgement. During the weaning period, it's important to eat less high-nutrient foods, avoid strenuous exercise, keep emotions stable, minimize breast stimulation, and avoid breast compression. Right now, it's a process that relies on the body's hormonal feedback to reduce milk production. Pay close attention to personal hygiene during this time, open windows frequently to ensure good ventilation, and maintain a well-ventilated indoor environment.
