Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and my child is getting bigger. I feel that breastfeeding can no longer meet his physical growth needs, so I want to wean. How can I wean without the breasts sagging?Doctor's answer:
Weaning is a process that requires time. First, you should increase the frequency of your baby's feeding. Second, extend the time between diaper changes to gradually wean your baby, allowing your breasts to recover and giving your baby time to adjust. The entire process is very humane. When preparing to wean, you should avoid foods that promote milk production, especially those that increase milk flow like lactation soups. You can moderately increase foods that help with weaning, such as barley, chives, and hawthorn. Drink as little water as possible.
