Is there any way to stop breastfeeding without shrinking breasts?

After a woman gives birth, she needs some methods to stimulate lactation so that she can secrete more milk and let the baby have a full meal every day. Of course, the baby needs to be weaned when he reaches a certain age. After all, the mother has to go out to work at this time. During weaning, the correct method of weaning should be used. Many women believe that their breasts will shrink once their milk production stops, and their breasts, which have been filled up with great effort, will become even smaller than before. So, what are some ways to stop breastfeeding without shrinking breasts?

1. If you and your baby are ready for weaning, and the mother must be away on a business trip for a period of time, then it is very likely that the baby will be completely weaned in a few days; if the mother stops pumping milk after going to work, then the daytime milk will soon stop;

2. If the baby is very dependent on breast milk, you can gradually wean him. From breastfeeding 6 times a day, reduce to 5 times a day. After both mother and baby have adapted, gradually reduce the dosage until it is completely stopped;

3. When you start weaning, you can give your baby some formula milk every day and try to encourage your baby to drink more milk; at the same time, stop feeding your baby before bedtime and at night.

4. Before weaning, let the dad or family members coax the baby to sleep, and the mom should stay away for a while.

5. Blind and unscientific methods of weaning will not only cause breast swelling and pain, but also cause breast sagging, breast deformation, breast nodules, etc.

6. You must be patient during the weaning period. No matter how much the baby cries or makes a fuss, do not let the baby suck intermittently. Do not rub chili peppers or other irritating things on the nipples. If you squeeze milk due to swelling and pain, this will inevitably prolong the weaning time.

7. Try to avoid using hormone drugs or milk-suppressing injections, as they can easily cause breast atrophy or breast secretion problems.

During the weaning period, you must pay attention to the proper care of your breasts so as not to shrink your breasts. When your breasts feel swollen, you can squeeze out some milk to relieve the pain. In addition, when lumps appear in the breasts, be sure to rub them away with your hands to prevent diseases such as mastitis.
