Can I recover after I've stopped breastfeeding?

When a baby is born, its stomach and intestines cannot digest external food very well, so it has to rely on breast milk to maintain its normal life needs. At this time, mothers' breast milk becomes particularly important, but when their babies reach a certain age, mothers need to wean them and let them eat other foods. However, some parents who choose to wean their children will regret it. So is it possible to recover after weaning?

I believe many mothers have encountered this problem. When breastfeeding, one breast has more milk and the other breast has less milk. So in order to let the baby drink enough milk, the mother always gives the side with more milk to the baby. As a result, one of the mother's breasts is bigger and the other is smaller. For the sake of the child, the mother can endure any situation. However, after the baby is weaned, the situation of different breasts is really worrying, and it doesn't look good when she wears clothes! This makes mothers very distressed and they don’t know what to do. The elders in the family said that the situation of breast milk and breast size will gradually return to normal after weaning. Is this true? Can the difference in breast milk be restored after weaning? What's a good way to deal with a baby who is too thirsty for milk? Today I will answer this question for you, come and have a look!

Can the breastfeeding be restored after weaning?

The first thing we must know is that during the breastfeeding period, the mother's breasts will become larger because the milk expands the mother's breasts, and the baby's sucking can also help the mother to clear the milk ducts and stimulate the mammary glands to secrete milk. After the baby is weaned, the mother's mammary glands will no longer secrete milk, and without milk to support the breasts, the breasts will gradually become smaller and return to their original shape. Therefore, after weaning, the size of the breasts will gradually recover and become the same as before, so new mothers don't have to worry!

What's the best way to treat severe milk deficiency?

First of all, we need to correct a common sense mistake of mothers. Many mothers think that if they want their babies to have enough milk, they will first give them the nipple with sufficient milk. In fact, this behavior is wrong. If the breasts are not stimulated enough, the mammary glands will slowly atrophy, so the milk will become less and less. After we find that one breast has less milk, we should first let the baby suck the breast with less milk to help the development of the mother's mammary glands and stimulate the mammary glands to secrete milk. The more milk is sucked, the more milk will be produced. Never let the baby not be full, or only feed them with more milk because you are afraid that the baby will cry. This will make the problem of uneven breasts more and more serious!

Secondly, we can give the milk to the one with less milk in moderation and do some massage to stimulate the mammary gland to secrete milk. This will help the breast secrete milk. Only when the milk secreted by both sides is about the same will there be no serious milk imbalance.

In fact, the mother's mammary glands can secrete milk, which is inseparable from the baby's sucking. If the mother has uneven breasts, everyone should pay attention to letting the baby help the mother to better stimulate the mammary glands. This is the best way to solve the serious problem of milk imbalance!
