When is the best time to take milk-reducing medicine?

When the baby is about 1 year old, he can eat baby food. At this time, the breast milk is equivalent to preservatives, which is insufficient in nutrition for the baby. The biggest source of nutrition for the baby is still from its baby food. For the sake of the baby's health, the baby can be weaned at this time. The common method after weaning is to take milk-suppressing medicine. So when should the milk-suppressing medicine be taken?

When is the best time to take milk-suppressing medicine? There are many types of milk-suppressing medicine. Different milk-suppressing medicines have different ways of being taken. The following are several common types of milk-suppressing medicines and other ways of taking them. When using milk-suppressing drugs to stop breastfeeding, you can take female hormone drugs orally or inject them intramuscularly, such as taking ethinyl estradiol orally, 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 to 5 days; or injecting estradiol benzoate intramuscularly, 2 mg each time, 2 times a day, for 3 to 5 days. Oral or external application of Chinese herbal medicine for weaning can also have a good effect, such as 120g of roasted malt, decocted in water, and taken warm three times; or 1 bowl of soy milk, add a small amount of sugar; or absorb the milk first, use 50-60g of saltpeter, put it in a tea bag, apply it to the breast, and replace it in time after deliquescing, 3-4 times a day. It takes 2-3 days for the milk-suppressing medicine to work, and some people may need to take it for a few more days.

Weaning methods

1. From the simple to the complex, of course, connect them. The timing and method of weaning depends on many factors. Every mother and baby has different experiences after weaning, and the method chosen varies from person to person. Quick weaning: If you have made sufficient preparations, and you and your baby can adapt, the timing of weaning is perfect and you can wean your baby quickly. Especially with various factors, if the mother has to go out for a period of time, it is very likely that the baby will be completely weaned in a few days. If the mother no longer sucks the nipple after work, the milk supply during the day will quickly stop.

2. Reduce dependence on the mother; the role of the father cannot be ignored. Before and after weaning, it is necessary to deliberately reduce the time the mother spends with the baby, increase the time the father spends taking care of the baby, and give the baby a psychological adaptation process. For a period of time after weaning, the baby will be more attached to the mother. At this time, the father can play with the baby more. The baby may be dissatisfied at first, but will get used to it later. Let the baby know that his father will still take care of him and his mother will definitely come home. Trusting the father will make the baby less dependent on the mother.
