The side effects of the milk-reducing injection

For breastfeeding mothers, many have experienced the pain of milk weaning. Some have experienced natural milk weaning, while others need artificial milk weaning. Natural milk weaning is a healthier and more correct way that does not harm the body. However, sometimes artificial milk weaning is needed, such as when you have severe mastitis and cannot breastfeed normally, or when natural milk weaning is not smooth. Artificial milk weaning is usually stopped with a milk weaning injection. Does the milk weaning injection have any side effects?

Whether the milk-suppressing injection is effective depends on the actual physical condition of the mother. Generally speaking, the milk-suppressing injection has a certain effect. So, does the milk-suppressing injection have any side effects? After all, the milk-suppressing injection is a drug that artificially suppresses milk production, so it will have certain side effects. The side effects of the milk-suppressing injection during prenatal examinations include breast shrinkage, nausea, vomiting, headaches and other adverse reactions.

Giving a milk-suppressing injection is not the healthiest and most effective way to wean a baby. Natural weaning is more suitable. The milk-suppressing injection will affect women's endocrine system and may also cause breasts to shrink or induce breast diseases. During the weaning process, it is recommended not to squeeze the breasts too much or squeeze the milk. Such repeated stimulation of the breasts cannot completely wean the baby, and the milk supply will continue to increase. When weaning, do not squeeze the milk. When the milk in the breasts reaches a certain level and the milk swells to a certain degree, you will wean naturally.

How to stop breastfeeding correctly

1. Stop breastfeeding

Generally speaking, unless there are special circumstances, doctors generally recommend natural weaning. Natural weaning has no side effects and is more effective. So, how to wean correctly? The first thing a mother who decides to stop breastfeeding should do is to stop breastfeeding and avoid expressing the milk by hand, as this will affect the effect of weaning.

2. Adjust your diet

If you want to achieve natural weaning, you should also make corresponding adjustments in your diet at the same time as deciding to wean. Because if you have already decided to wean, the mother should try to avoid eating foods that promote lactation, and instead eat foods that help wean. For example, fried malt, hawthorn, dandelion, pepper and other foods have a good effect on weaning.

3. Choose the right underwear

In order to achieve the effect of natural weaning, it is also very important for the mother to choose underwear. Another way to naturally wean is to choose close-fitting underwear. It is best to choose tighter underwear, which can also play a certain role in inhibiting the secretion of milk.
