What are the correct ways to wean off breast milk?

There are many new mothers who may stop breastfeeding their babies due to various reasons in work and life. There are also many new mothers who are preparing to wean their babies. If they still have a lot of milk, they need to stop breastfeeding. There are many correct ways to stop breastfeeding, and new mothers can choose according to their physical condition. So what are the correct ways to stop breastfeeding? Let me introduce them to you below.

When weaning, you can use the swelling method: let your breasts swell and endure the pain. After about a week, they will swell back. During the weaning period, you must be patient and avoid letting your baby suck intermittently or expressing milk due to bloating and pain. Doing so will inevitably prolong the weaning time.

The weaning method of swelling is quite uncomfortable and takes a long time. To reduce the pain, you can take weaning medication. Different measures should be taken according to the specific situation. First of all, you should stop drinking large amounts of soup, reduce nutrition, and avoid eating stewed chicken, stewed meat, or nutritious medicinal food. Then medication can be used to stop milk secretion.

1. Take vitamin B6, 200 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 consecutive days. (Applicable after the start of breastfeeding and before weaning)

2. Use 50 to 100 grams of roasted malt, add water to boil and take one dose per day for 3 consecutive days. (Applicable to the early postpartum period and before weaning)

3. Take ethylaspartate orally, 3 to 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 5 consecutive days. (Applicable to one or two days after delivery, before a large amount of lactation)

(II) What are the correct methods to stop lactation? Eating more old hens after giving birth can help stop lactation

The old hen stew has a rich and delicious flavor, but the estrogen it contains can have a milk-reducing effect, so it is not advisable to eat too much. Because you breastfeed your baby, the hormone concentration in your blood after delivery will be greatly reduced, causing prolactin to play a lactation-promoting role and promote milk secretion. The ovaries and egg shells of hens contain a certain amount of estrogen. Old hens contain more estrogen. Eating a large amount of hens after giving birth will increase the estrogen content in your body and the estrogen concentration in your blood. The effectiveness of prolactin will be weakened, which will lead to insufficient milk or even complete milk withdrawal, which is not conducive to your breastfeeding.

(3) Small cocks are more suitable for postpartum mothers

The small amount of androgen contained in the little rooster's body has the effect of counteracting estrogen and promoting milk secretion, which has a potential promoting effect on the baby's physical health. And nutritionally speaking, the nutritional content of young roosters is much higher than that of old hens. The meat of young roosters contains more protein than that of old hens, and the meat of young roosters contains less elastic connective tissue. After cooking, the chicken meat is easy to separate, becoming tender and soft. The nutrients are more conducive to human digestion and absorption, making it very suitable for postpartum breastfeeding women.

In fact, many new mothers do not have much milk before weaning their babies. In this case, there is no need to take any medicine, and the secretion of milk can be stopped naturally. New mothers will have a better understanding of the correct methods to stop breast milk secretion. If milk secretion stops naturally, there may be some milk lumps in the breasts of new mothers. In fact, don't worry too much, as these milk lumps will be naturally absorbed after a period of time.
