Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
You can use malt and estrogen. However, these are all supplementary. When you start weaning, milk will still increase regardless, and it will be very painful. At this point, you must make sure to express the milk. Don't listen to any old wives' tales, saying that letting it hurt will make it go back on its own, because doing so can easily lead to inflammation. Use a breast pump to express milk, but no matter how much you pump, it won't be as effective as a child feeding. Over time, the milk supply will gradually decrease. With the assistance of medication, it generally takes about one to two weeks to wean.
