The method of using Glauber's salt to stop lactation is to crush the Glauber's salt in advance, put it in a tea bag, and apply it externally to the breasts. What needs attention is that when putting it in the tea bag, don't put it too thick, spread a thin layer and apply it on the left side of the breast. After a period of time, the Glauber's salt will become hard and can be replaced. 3-4 times a day, mothers don't have to worry about any side effects.

In addition, mothers should also pay attention to their daily diet, drink less water, less porridge, especially high-protein and high-fat soups and dishes, and drink less of these to reduce the production of milk. It is also necessary to reduce the frequency and amount of the baby's sucking milk or stop the baby from sucking milk, otherwise the baby's sucking will irritate the breasts and affect milk secretion. In that case, it will not be possible to completely stop breastfeeding. So mothers must pay attention!

If some mothers still secrete a lot of milk, they can use some medicines to promote milk production. For example, the Chinese medicine method: drink maltose water, which has little side effects on the body; the Western medicine method: moderate supplementation of female hormones can inhibit lactogens to a certain extent, or use the drug "bromocriptine" that inhibits pituitary metabolism to inhibit milk secretion. Take 5 mg of diethylstilbestrol tablets three times a day and vitamin B26, one tablet at a time, three times a day for three consecutive days.

For mothers with abundant milk or who want to stop breastfeeding quickly, they can go to the hospital for milk-reducing injections, take milk-reducing medicines, and take medications. However, unless the milk swelling is causing extreme discomfort or there are other special circumstances, it is generally not recommended to get a milk-suppressing injection.
