Weaning always leaks milk, how many days can it be weaned?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old this year, and I am still breastfeeding. Recently, I have been considering weaning my baby, but during the weaning period, I often experience leakage milk. I would like to ask, how many days does it usually take for the milk to stop leaking after weaning?

Doctor's answer:

1. For moms experiencing leakage, don't be too anxious—always maintain a calm and relaxed mood. Wear a properly fitting bra to lift the breasts securely, ensuring the nipples do not sit above the horizontal level. When feeling full, promptly nurse or express milk.
2. Prepare some clean towels or nursing pads beforehand and keep them handy for wiping or preventing clothes from getting wet.
3. Increase stimulation and avoid seeing scenes that may trigger a reflex response.
