What causes lumps after weaning?

Generally speaking, if a pregnant mother finds lumps in her breasts after weaning, it is likely that she has milk engorgement. You can try expressing milk to see if the situation improves. If it is not caused by milk engorgement, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a check-up.

1. When weaning, you can use the swelling method. Let your breasts swell and endure the pain. After about a week, the breasts will swell back. You must be patient during the weaning period and avoid letting the baby suck intermittently or expressing milk due to bloating and pain. Doing so will inevitably prolong the weaning time. If you experience breast pain during self-treatment of milk withdrawal, you can apply a warm towel and massage from the base of the breast to the nipple.

2. The weaning method of swelling is quite uncomfortable and takes a long time. To reduce the pain, you can take weaning medication. Different measures should be taken according to the specific situation. First of all, you should stop drinking large amounts of soup, reduce nutrition, and avoid eating stewed chicken, stewed meat, or nutritious medicinal food. Then medication can be used to stop milk secretion.

1. Take vitamin B6, 200 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 consecutive days. (Applicable after the start of breastfeeding and before weaning)

2. Use 50 to 100 grams of roasted malt, add water to boil and take one dose per day for 3 consecutive days. (Applicable to the early postpartum period and before weaning)

3. Take ethylaspartate orally, 3 to 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 5 consecutive days. (Applicable to one or two days after delivery, before a large amount of lactation)

3. Some mothers do not have much milk before weaning their babies. At this time, they do not need to take any medicine and can let the milk secretion stop naturally. However, this may leave some milk lumps in the mother's breasts, which can be felt when touched. Don't worry, generally, these milk lumps will be naturally absorbed after a period of time.
