Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child ever since they were born. My milk supply was already not very abundant, so I pay close attention to my diet, fearing that I might experience a milk supply reduction. Therefore, I would like to learn about the correct method of weaning using a breast pump.Doctor's answer:
Mothers who want to wean using a breast pump can follow the previous breastfeeding schedule to pump milk. Initially, you can start pumping as usual, and then gradually increase the frequency. The more milk the baby consumes, the more milk the breasts will produce. Using a breast pump to simulate the baby's feeding and gradually increasing the pumping amount will also help increase milk production. The above is advice on this issue, and I hope it helps you.
