How to use Glauber's Salt to stop milk production

The method of using Glauber's salt to stop milk production is to crush the Glauber's salt in advance, put it in a gauze bag, and apply it to the breasts. It should be noted that when placing it in the gauze bag, do not apply it too thickly. Spread a thin layer and apply it to the lower side of the breast. After a period of time, the Glauber's salt will become hard and need to be replaced. 3-4 times a day, mothers don’t need to worry about any side effects.

In addition, mothers should also pay attention to their daily diet and drink less water and soup, especially high-protein and high-fat soups. Drinking less of these can reduce milk production. You should also reduce the number and amount of breast milk your baby sucks or stop letting your baby suck breast milk, otherwise the baby's sucking will stimulate the breasts and cause milk to be secreted. This will make it impossible to wean the baby smoothly. So moms must pay attention!

If some mothers still have a lot of milk secretion, they can use some medications to promote milk production. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine method: drink malt with water, which has little side effects on the human body; the Western medicine method: appropriate estrogen supplementation can inhibit prolactin to a certain extent, or use the drug "bromocriptine" that inhibits pituitary secretion to inhibit lactation. Take 5 mg of diethylstilbestrol tablets three times a day and vitamin B6, one tablet at a time, three times a day for three consecutive days.

For mothers with abundant milk or who want to stop producing milk quickly, they can go to the hospital for milk-suppressing injections, take Chinese or Western medicine, etc. However, unless the milk engorgement is extremely uncomfortable or there are other special circumstances, it is generally not recommended to get a milk-suppressing injection.
