Breast tenderness and pain during weaning

Weaning is a very difficult process for postpartum women, mainly because when the breasts are used to secreting milk, if weaning stops, it will cause breast swelling and pain. Therefore, during the weaning period, the older generation would let the mother take some folk remedies to help with weaning, such as malt water. However, these folk remedies cannot resist the symptoms of breast pain during the weaning period. So what are the ways to relieve the soft and painful breasts during the weaning period?

1. When you are weaning, you can go to the hospital to get a milk-suppressing injection, but the milk-suppressing injection can only reduce the bloating and pain caused by milk-suppressing, it cannot completely eliminate it, and all milk-suppressing injections are hormonal drugs, which will have some impact on the body. Therefore, it is best to stop breastfeeding on your own. Whether you will feel bloating and pain when stopping breastfeeding depends on the individual.

2. To stop weaning, you can go to the drugstore and buy hawthorn and malt to boil water and drink it once a day. The weaning will stop in three days. If your milk is swollen too much during weaning, you can squeeze out some of it. When weaning, you must use scientific methods. Blind and unscientific methods will not only cause breast swelling and pain, but will also cause breast sagging and breast deformation.

3. When weaning, you can use scallion and white wine. When taking a bath at night, boil a pot of water and put some scallion and white wine in it. Then use a towel soaked in scallion and white wine to warm both breasts and squeeze out all the milk. Do this once a day for 3 days. This will have the effect of weaning off the milk.

4. Eating maltose is a good way to stop lactation. Taking barley malt as a traditional Chinese medicine is the safest, most effective, simple and practical method to stop breastfeeding. Malt can be used to stimulate lactation, either alone or in combination with other drugs. Generally, those who are strong and have a lot of milk can use 60 to 120 grams of raw malt alone to stop lactation. Those who are weak and have little milk need a slightly smaller amount.

Note:

For mothers who have abundant milk or want to stop producing milk quickly, medication can be used to stop producing milk. The common methods used are milk-suppressing injections and milk-suppressing medicines. If you plan to have a baby in the future, it is not recommended to use medication to stop breastfeeding, as this may affect your future milk supply.
