Third day of weaning, not as full as before, should I wean?

Patient's question:

I am 26 years old, and my child is getting bigger. I feel that breastfeeding is no longer meeting his physical growth needs, so I want to wean. On the third day of weaning, it's not as engorged as before. Should I start weaning?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the information about your purchase, this condition is a clinical manifestation of preliminary successful weaning. It is likely that you may need to wean, so it is important to tolerate and cooperate with weaning medications to stabilize any discomfort. Pay attention to eating less extremely cold and irritating foods. At the same time, it is recommended to enhance nutrition and avoid pushing or squeezing the breasts. Cooperate with cold compresses to stabilize discomfort. Soups and foods that promote milk production should still be consumed in moderation. After one week of weaning, milk will no longer be secreted.
