How to take vitamin B6 during weaning? Taking vitamin B6 can help with weaning, but you should also drink less soup and eat less nutritious foods or foods that increase milk secretion. The mechanism of milk retraction is to reduce the secretion of pituitary prolactin by acting on feedback in the brain, thereby inhibiting the secretion of milk. Vitamin B6 tablets should be taken starting from the second day, 0.2 grams each time, once every 8 hours, for 4-6 days. Five days after taking it, there will be no breast engorgement or milk secretion.

What should be noted when taking medicine for weaning is that although mothers with excessive milk secretion can choose to take medicine or injections to achieve the effect of weaning, it is recommended not to take injections or medications unless it is absolutely necessary. Because the drugs may damage the mammary glands, causing them to atrophy, and affecting milk production when giving birth to another baby.

The role of vitamin B6

1. Prevent cramps in babies. After certain milk powders are processed at high temperatures, vitamin B6 will be destroyed, and babies will experience cramps after eating them.

2. Hairdressing effect. Vitamin B6 participates in human metabolism and acts on the hair through blood circulation. It can prevent hair loss and reduce the growth of gray hair.

3. Prevent and treat vomiting during pregnancy and postoperative vomiting.

4. Weaning. Taking vitamin B6 after giving birth can inhibit milk secretion. It is more effective in weaning off breast milk than estrogen, and it works quickly without any side effects.

5. Treat gestational diabetes. Pregnant women are prone to vitamin B6 deficiency, which causes abnormal tryptophan metabolism and produces xanthuric acid-insulin complex, which reduces the blood sugar-lowering effect by half, thus causing gestational diabetes.

6. Antiasthmatic effect. Wheezing and breathlessness in infants are common symptoms of respiratory diseases, and relieving asthma is the focus and difficulty of treatment. Injections of vitamin B6 can relieve asthma.
