Patient's question:
The baby is almost eighteen months old and has been weaned for a week, but still leaks milk. If she wears tight clothes, it doesn't leak. It was the same before, and she also got engorged, but the hard lumps are gone now. I don't know why she's leaking milk. How long will it take for the milk to stop?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. This situation is not related to milk retention, and it can be treated using traditional Chinese medicine methods. For this condition, I recommend brewing water with roasted malt and raw malt alternately for a few days, as they have the effect of weaning. If you also feel soreness and fullness, you can add dandelion to the decoction. The above advice is for the question "My baby is almost 18 months old and has been weaned for a week but still leaks milk—what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
