Patient's question:
The child is now one and a half months old. They only drink milk and refuse anything else. Everyone says it will be fine after weaning, so we decided to wean them. But it has been 5 days since weaning, and the milk is still coming out non-stop. My breasts are also painfully full. How long does it usually take to wean?Doctor's answer:
In this case, weaning medication is required for weaning. You can drink water infused with toasted malt, which has the effect of reducing milk production. Alternatively, you can take the milk-reducing pill. Wear loose-fitting underwear and avoid squeezing your breasts to prevent mastitis. You can use a breast pump to extract the milk inside. Drink less soup to reduce milk production, avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent mastitis. Do not stimulate the nipples or squeeze milk to avoid affecting the weaning effect.
