At what point will milk stop flowing?

Many mothers are in the stage of stopping breastfeeding because they need to go to work, so they need to wean their babies off the habit of breastfeeding so that they can devote themselves to work with peace of mind. Breast engorgement is the most serious problem when weaning. Many people think that breast engorgement will go away when it reaches a certain level. In fact, this idea is wrong. You must use a breast pump when your breasts are engorged, otherwise it will cause damage to the mammary glands.

At what point will milk stop flowing?

If your milk is swollen during the weaning period, you can use a breast pump to help suck out the milk, but be careful not to use too much force to avoid damage to the nipple and surrounding skin caused by excessive negative pressure. At the same time, you can also use raw malt to boil water and drink it to help stop milk production, or use vitamin B6 to help stop milk production. If the milk production is very severe, you can also go to the hospital for a milk-reducing injection.

What to do if milk swelling occurs during weaning period:

1. If the milk swelling is really uncomfortable during the weaning period, you can apply a hot towel to relieve it. Go to the pharmacy to buy malt and hawthorn and boil them in water. Boil 10 grams each time and drink two bowls of water in a day. Add vitamin B6 tablets, three times a day, 10 tablets each time. Eat it for a few days in a row and you will be fine.

2. Do not squeeze to avoid causing mastitis. When breast engorgement is severe, you can squeeze out some of it, but do not squeeze out frequently, as it will promote milk secretion and is not conducive to milk return.

3. Eating more leeks can help reduce milk production.

4. During the weaning period, you can use the swelling method: let your breasts swell and endure the pain. After about a week, they will swell back. During the weaning period, you must be patient and avoid letting your baby suck intermittently or expressing milk due to bloating and pain. Doing so will inevitably prolong the weaning time.

5. After weaning, the mother should drink less soup to help reduce milk secretion and weaning faster. If there is still a lot of milk, you can use a bra binder to tightly bind your breasts, or when your breasts are too full, use a breast pump to suck out some of the milk and then bind your breasts tightly with cloth. If you don't feel your breasts are too swollen, don't squeeze your milk to avoid stimulating your breasts to secrete milk. You can also use some medications to stop milk production under the guidance of a doctor.

I can use a breast pump during the weaning period. What should I do if my milk is swollen during weaning? Will the milk be weaned after a few days?

6. In order to reduce the pain caused by milk swelling, you can take milk-suppressing drugs. Different measures should be taken according to the specific situation. First, you should stop drinking large amounts of soup, reduce nutrition, and avoid eating stewed chicken, stewed meat, or nutritious medicinal food. Then, you can use medication to stop milk secretion (postpartum diet).

How many days does it take for milk to stop flowing?

The exact number of days it takes to stop breastfeeding varies from person to person. Some mothers only need 2 days to stop breastfeeding naturally, while some mothers still have difficulty stopping breastfeeding even after using some medications. Therefore, it is not possible to generalize how many days it will take to wean the baby. However, the general weaning time is about a week.

Weaning is a gradual process, and few mothers can successfully stop weaning in a short period of time. The methods of weaning mainly include natural weaning and artificial weaning. Natural weaning is the best method, which mainly involves reducing the number and duration of breastfeeding to stop the breasts from producing milk. Artificial weaning includes dietary adjustment and taking weaning medicine. Mothers whose breasts are engorged during the weaning period can also wean with the help of a lactation consultant. Generally speaking, artificial weaning is relatively quick, but natural weaning is a safer method.
