How to stop breastfeeding the fastest and without pain, these methods are very effective

Some women continue to secrete milk after they stop breastfeeding. Because they are not feeding their babies, their breasts will become swollen, which is a very uncomfortable feeling, so women will look for ways to quickly stop secreting milk, and these methods must ensure that women do not feel pain.

1. Natural weaning

If the mother has been breastfeeding for 10-12 months, she can stop breastfeeding naturally. Common methods to naturally stop breastfeeding include reducing the number of breastfeeding sessions and increasing the interval between each feeding. This will reduce the baby's contact and stimulation of the breast, thereby reducing milk secretion. When new mothers are weaning, they should try not to eat foods that increase milk production and should reduce the intake of nutritious soups.

2. Artificial weaning

If the breastfeeding period is less than 10 months and the mother must stop breastfeeding due to special reasons, artificial methods can be used to help her stop breastfeeding, such as diet therapy or medication.

Drinking a bowl of raw malt boiled water or sweetened soy milk can help stop lactation. You can also take orally or inject estrogen drugs, for example: the oral drug is ethinyl stilbestrol, and the injectable drug is estradiol benzoate. In addition, Chinese medicine is also very effective in helping new mothers to stop breastfeeding. For example, you can put saltpeter in gauze, apply it to the breasts, and change it every day.

3. Precautions for weaning:

1. Reduce stimulation to the nipples. For example, reduce the number of times you feed your baby every day, lengthen the intervals between feedings, and shorten the duration of each feeding. Also, avoid washing your breasts with hot water.

2. Do not express the milk completely. If your breasts are uncomfortably swollen, you can express the milk, but don't express it completely, otherwise it will promote milk secretion and have the opposite effect. You can use ice packs to cool your breasts to relieve the feeling of swelling.

3. Eat more foods that help with weaning. Such as barley tea, maltose, leek, pepper, aniseed (fennel), MSG, ginseng, hawthorn, chocolate, bitter melon, malt, raw loquat leaves, scrambled eggs with toon, malted milk, raw hawthorn and other foods. You should avoid eating foods that promote milk secretion, such as peanuts, pig's trotters, crucian carp, soups and other protein-rich foods, which can reduce milk secretion.

4. The time for weaning is important. Do not wean your child in the summer, because the weather is hot in summer and the gastrointestinal digestive function is weakened. If you add too much complementary food to your child after weaning, it will easily cause indigestion or even gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea. Do not wean your child when he is sick, because your child's resistance to disease is poor, his digestive function is poor, and his body is very weak. If you wean your child at this time, it will inevitably affect his physical recovery and even aggravate his condition.
