What to do if the pain is severe after weaning

I believe that many people usually feel very painful because of weaning, because they are about to go back to work and the baby is already very big, but at this time they must stop breastfeeding and let the baby accept human complementary foods and food. During the weaning process, you need to pay attention. The baby will be particularly bloated at the beginning, so you must go slowly and don't rush it. Weaning is not something that can be done suddenly, it needs to be done slowly and bit by bit.

What to do if breast milk price goes up after weaning

1. Gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding times: The best way to reduce milk engorgement is to gradually reduce the number of breastfeeding times. By reducing the number of times gradually, the amount of milk will naturally decrease, thus achieving the effect of weaning. If you wean suddenly, milk engorgement will definitely be very serious.

2. Use a breast pump: When your milk is very swollen, use a breast pump to suck out some of the milk, which will relieve the pain of swollen milk. And you don’t have to worry about not being able to wean your baby after using a breast pump. Because a breast pump does not suck milk thoroughly, milk secretion will gradually decrease.

3. Massage: After applying hot compress to the breasts, you can massage the breasts. There are many ways to massage the breasts. Generally, hold one breast with both hands and massage alternately from the bottom of the breast to the nipple. If there is still milk leaking, you can squeeze the milk into a container.

4. Soak the breasts in warm water: You can put a basin of warm water on your knees, then bend your upper body to your knees, let your breasts soak in the basin, and gently shake your breasts. Gravity will allow the milk to flow out more easily.

What to do if breastfeeding hurts

1. Hot compress: After using a breast pump to extract milk, apply a hot towel to the breasts to relieve swelling and pain. In addition, hot compress can make the milk lumps blocking the breast glands unblocked and improve breast circulation. When applying hot compress, be careful to avoid the areola and nipple areas because the skin in these two areas is more tender. The temperature of the hot compress should not be too hot to avoid scalding the skin.

2. Hot bath: If the breasts are still swollen and painful, the mother can take a hot bath and massage the breasts, which will feel more comfortable.

3. Cold compress: If the pain from breast engorgement is very severe, you can use cold compress to relieve the pain. Always remember to express the milk before applying cold compress.

4. Reduce the intake of soups and water: Be careful not to drink soupy foods during weaning, as this will increase milk production. If the bloating and pain are severe, it is recommended to drink malt or barley malt (commonly known as two bud soup). However, you should go to a regular Chinese medicine store, because the Erya should be processed with vinegar, otherwise the effect will not be very good.

5. See a doctor: If the swelling still cannot be relieved and the pain continues, the mother can go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe painkillers.
