Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, breastfeeding for nearly two years. Recently, I have been planning to wean, but it feels very difficult. If I don't quit breastfeeding, how long can a woman's milk continue?Doctor's answer:
If a woman does not breastfeed her child after giving birth, the milk will naturally stop on its own. If she does breastfeed, then it depends on the body's condition. If the body is in good condition, it can last for several years. If the body is not in good condition, the milk may stop on its own after the baby stops drinking it. Individual differences exist among people. Some women, who are weak and have poor nutrition, may stop producing milk after a short period of time. Others may also stop producing milk due to factors like mood or illness.
