Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, breastfeeding for nearly two years. Recently, I have been preparing to wean. How long does it take for milk to stop after weaning?Doctor's answer:
This varies from person to person, as everyone has a different constitution. It cannot be calculated based on time. For mothers, if the baby reduces their intake of breast milk, the mother's milk production will also decrease accordingly. Of course, this is a gradual process. It is essential to use a breast pump to extract any milk the baby does not finish to prevent breast inflammation. At the same time, the intake of soups should be reduced. If the baby can fully accept formula milk, the mother can consume some malt water to aid in weaning.
