How much milk will come back after stopping breastfeeding four months postpartum, and how long will it take?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Two to four weeks should be fine. It won't be too long. Pay attention to drinking less soup and water. If you feel uncomfortable due to breast engorgement in the early stages of weaning, you can massage and express the milk once. Apply Epsom salt to the breasts at night to promote weaning and relieve pain.
