How many days does it take to wean off breast milk?

We all know that mothers will encounter a problem, that is, after weaning, mothers will have an adaptation period. So weaning is a very important issue. So, generally, how many days after weaning can wean the baby? How can mothers deal with weaning after weaning?

Experts point out that mothers who are weaning do not need to be too nervous, as the milk can usually be stopped on its own in 3-7 days. During normal weaning, if there is too much milk and natural weaning is not effective, artificial weaning methods can also be used.

Methods to stop breastfeeding: 1. Before you stop breastfeeding, you should try to control the intake of foods that can easily cause breast blockage; you should also try to limit the intake of foods that promote milk secretion, such as fats and sugars.

2. If the mother's breast swelling and pain are unbearable, she can express milk in small amounts when the areola becomes slightly softer until she no longer needs to express milk. Because stimulation of the mammary glands can increase milk secretion, you should try to avoid touching the breasts. The water temperature should not be too high when taking a bath. If your breasts are swollen and painful, apply a cold towel. But you should try to avoid expressing milk for at least 3 days.

3. If you can endure not expressing your breast milk for three consecutive days, you can express it once at this time to squeeze out the milk retained in the mammary glands. You can compress the base of the breast to express milk. When expressing milk, place a cold towel under your armpits to suppress milk secretion while expressing.

Therefore, mothers should not be too nervous, but should pay attention to some things. In daily life, when weaning, they should not eat foods that promote milk secretion, such as peanuts, pig's trotters, crucian carp, soups, etc. They should eat less protein-rich foods, which can reduce milk secretion. During the weaning period, you should pay attention to reducing stimulation to the breasts and nipples. In this way, the secretion of prolactin will gradually decrease, and the secretion of milk will also gradually decrease.
