Patient's question:
A classmate of mine from when I was in school got married and now stays at home to take care of her husband and children. However, she is now experiencing pain from weaning. Should she use heat or cold compresses for the pain?Doctor's answer:
It's best to choose natural weaning methods. Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding until you stop completely. If you experience breast engorgement and pain during this process, you can apply warm compresses. Allow the milk to flow out naturally, but avoid using a breast pump to prevent producing more milk. You can also drink roasted malt tea to aid in weaning and apply Epsom salt to your breasts, which can help speed up the weaning process. I suggest you wean your child scientifically to minimize harm to both the child and your breasts.
