Patient's question:
My body is quite weak, and during weaning, my breasts always feel sore, which is sometimes unbearable. My childhood friend introduced me to massage as a way to wean. So, I'm asking, do lactation consultants help with weaning?Doctor's answer:
Lactating women can hire a lactation consultant to help them with milk supply during weaning. Nowadays, lactation consultants are all trained and certified to work. Therefore, their techniques for increasing milk supply are very effective, and it is quite beneficial to hire a lactation consultant in a timely manner. However, everyone must choose a qualified lactation consultant.Women can also increase their milk supply themselves during weaning by massaging their breasts. Some women experience weaning due to poor blood circulation in the breasts or due to compression. In such cases, they can use both hands to massage the base of their breasts in a clockwise direction for 30 minutes each day. After a few days, they will notice significant results, as their milk production will increase.
