How to get back to breastfeeding without increasing breast milk and hurting breasts

The term “milk return” refers to the withdrawal of milk, i.e., the cessation of milk secretion. If the mother is unable to breastfeed due to illness, she should withdraw her milk as soon as possible. The easiest way to get rid of milk is to stop breastfeeding, supplemented with medication if necessary. Under the guidance of your doctor, you can try to get rid of milk without increasing your milk supply or hurting your breasts. Sucking and constant emptying of the breasts is important to keep the mammary glands in constant lactation. Stopping breastfeeding and letting the baby suckle on the breasts can avoid the release of prolactin to reduce milk secretion. Commonly used remedies for breastfeeding are: Manganese in two gauze bags, apply to both breasts and bandage, replace when wet and hard; decoction of raw malt as a tea for 3-5 days; Vitamin B6 for 3-5 days, the use of medication should be in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, not blindly used. The puerperium is usually 6 weeks, it is generally not recommended to withdraw milk during this period, if the milk can not be normally emptied during this period, there may be milk stagnation, resulting in breast swelling and pain and the formation of hard knots. Prompt medical attention is recommended.
