Patient's question:
Baby weaned for 2 months. The baby took a sip of the nipple. Can the baby suck out milk? About the previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment. What help do you want: The baby has been weaned for 2 months. When playing, I didn't notice the baby took a sip of my nipple. I would like to ask if the baby just took a sip, can they suck out milk? Can milk still be squeezed out with the hand? Family members said that if the baby just sucks on the nipple, they can produce more milk. Now I'm very scared. Did the baby suck out milk when they took a sip? / Am I just getting my hair permed and colored, and I'm afraid the baby will suck out milk and ingest it. It might not be good for the baby. Thank you for your answer. Urgent.Doctor's answer:
Avoid letting the baby suck again after weaning as much as possible. If they suck frequently, it can trigger milk production. Generally, after weaning, prolactin excretion gradually increases, and milk production gradually decreases. You are concerned about potential effects on the baby after drinking milk. In this case, there is no major issue. Even if the baby drinks a small amount of milk, their liver and kidneys can metabolize it. Drinking more water for the baby is sufficient. The above suggestions are for this issue. I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
