Hawthorn fruit is a common food in daily diet, and it is also a Chinese medicinal material.

Because hawthorn fruit can digest meat products, it also has a certain effect of lowering blood lipids and reducing cholesterol. However, hawthorn fruit does not have a significant effect on reducing milk production, so eating hawthorn during lactation is not likely to reduce milk production. Because eating hawthorn will cause a continuous increase in appetite, at this time it will increase the intake of nutrients such as protein and fat, so it may also increase the secretion of milk.

In clinical medicine, the preferred drugs for weaning-inducing are bromocriptine and estrogen. Taking hawthorn during the lactation period has a low effect on weaning-inducing. During breastfeeding, pregnant women who breastfeed mainly rely on eating nutritious foods, such as rich in protein, vitamins, copper and calcium-rich foods, and they also need to eat vegetables, fruits, milk, etc. in moderation to achieve a comprehensive and balanced nutrition; they should try to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and eating a small amount of hawthorn fruit will not have much effect, and they can consume it in moderation according to their personal preferences. The actual medication should be combined with clinical medicine, and the doctor's preoperative diagnosis and guidance should be the standard.

Hawthorn berry has no significant effect on reducing milk production. At present, there are several methods of artificial weaning: one is to drink maltose boiled in water.

It should be noted that a large amount of growth hormone has a certain effect on liver and kidney function. Therefore, women with liver and kidney dysfunction are strictly prohibited from using this method, and this method may have an impact on newborns. It is no longer used at this stage. The third is to apply Glauber's salt to the breasts, and then change to dry ones for external use after they become wet and cold.
