Breastfeeding for half a month, there are still breast milk and hard lumps, is it normal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Just started weaning, no matter what the milk will still come in and it's very painful. At this point, you must express the milk. Don't listen to any old wives' tales that say letting it hurt will make it go back on its own, because doing so can easily lead to infection. Use a breast pump to express the milk, but no matter how much you pump, it's never as effective as a baby feeding. Over time, the milk supply will gradually decrease. With the help of medication, it usually takes about one to two weeks to wean completely.
