Patient's question:
I am 24 years old, and my baby is ten months old. I have been breastfeeding them, but now I am preparing to wean. The baby can eat formula, which is good, and there is no need to worry much. But how do I get rid of the breast milk in my body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can eat fried malt and other foods during weaning, as this is the fastest way to reduce milk production. However, it is important to take medication under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safety. During the weaning period, it is easy to develop clogged milk, which can cause breast pain. It is advisable to rest well and express excess milk when necessary to prevent mastitis. If you develop a fever, it may indicate mastitis. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication and apply local cold compresses when needed. In severe cases, intravenous fluids may be necessary to avoid worsening the condition. Regular health check-ups are also recommended to monitor the gradual recovery of your breasts.
