Still have milk after 4 months of weaning

The process of weaning a baby is quite painful, because it not only tests the patience of mothers, but also the baby. Some mothers do not take good care of their breasts after weaning their babies, and the milk is not completely drained. They may still have milk for several months after weaning. Therefore, mothers should master the correct weaning method. Is it normal to still have milk four months after weaning?

Weaning is not just about interrupting breastfeeding and stopping the baby from drinking milk, but also about allowing the milk to be completely drained so that the breasts can receive healthy care and the prevention rate of breast diseases can be increased. Weaning massage is not only for stopping milk secretion, but also for the benefit of breast health. After weaning, many mothers touch their breasts and think that weaning is complete if they find that their breasts are no longer swollen. In fact, in clinical nursing, many mothers can still express breast milk three months or even half a year after weaning, and the milk is sticky and yellow. There is no guarantee that the body can completely absorb this sticky yellow milk. So weaning massage is still very important! Weaning massage can reduce the pain caused to mothers during weaning. It is necessary to drain all the milk and increase the prevention rate of breast diseases as much as possible.

It is common to have milk leakage after weaning. First check the endocrine factors. If the endocrine factors are excluded,

1. Drink less water and less soup when eating to help reduce milk production.

2. If milk secretion is relatively vigorous, some drugs can be used to promote milk return. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine method is to drink malt mixed with water, which has little side effects on the human body; the Western medicine method is to appropriately supplement estrogen, which can inhibit prolactin to a certain extent, or use the drug "bromocriptine" that inhibits pituitary secretion to inhibit lactation. Take 5 mg of diethylstilbestrol tablets 3 times a day and vitamin B6, one tablet 3 times a day for three consecutive days.

After weaning, you must handle the follow-up work properly. Although the breasts secrete less and less milk, you should not let it accumulate in the breasts. You need to suck it out, otherwise it may cause breast inflammation. Try to eat less soup during weaning. But if you don’t feel bloated, don’t squeeze. Squeezing too frequently will also promote milk secretion. You can go to a Chinese medicine store to buy scorched wheat germ and brew it in water. You need to buy about 1 pound. There is no special dosage limit. You can just boil 50-100 mg in water and drink it every day. If you can't buy roasted malt, don't roast it yourself, because if the degree of roasting is not controlled well, it will have the effect of promoting lactation. You can also choose to take Chinese medicine to stop lactation. After a period of time, the milk supply will become less and less, and gradually stop. It is not advisable to wean the baby too quickly, as this may cause mammary gland atrophy and affect future appearance.
