Patient's question:
I want to know what would be a good way to do it if I plan to wean. Will it be painful?Doctor's answer:
If a new mother starts planning to wean, she can suppress milk production by wearing tight underwear and should appropriately reduce the frequency of feeding the baby. If the baby is uncooperative or crying, she can apply irritating food to the nipple to create a conditioned reflex during sucking, which will gradually lead her to stop breastfeeding over time. Many foods in daily life can inhibit milk production. Among them, hawthorn, malt, and brown sugar can relieve breast pain in the early stages of milk reflux and have a good dispersing effect on milk stagnation.
