How many methods are there to stop breastfeeding?

It is very uncomfortable if the baby has been weaned during breastfeeding but the mother is still secreting milk, so it is very useful to find some ways to stop the mother from secreting milk. Many methods of weaning have been summarized in the wisdom of the people. These methods have solved the troubles of many mothers with breast engorgement. Now let’s take a look at some ways to stop breastfeeding.

? Lack of milk after childbirth and the baby's cry for feeding will make the whole family anxious. Why is there a lack of milk? How can we increase breast milk?

?? The Ming Dynasty's "Regulations for Women" said: "Women's milk is transformed from the qi and blood of the Chong and Ren meridians... If the milk production is delayed and the amount is small after delivery, it is due to insufficient qi and blood; if there is still no milk, it is undoubtedly due to the weakness of the Chong and Ren meridians." This shows that lack of milk or no milk is mainly caused by insufficient qi and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians.

?? Whether the qi and blood are sufficient is related to the mother's physical condition and the strength of the spleen and stomach. Failure to pay attention to exercise, being picky about food, eating a partial diet, and eating too little will all lead to weak spleen and stomach function, resulting in a lack of milk. Binding the breasts too tightly can also restrict breast development and cause milk deficiency. These aspects must be paid attention to in normal times. If you have already given birth, you can increase milk secretion by doing the following:

?? 1. Feel good and get enough sleep:

Bad emotions, depression, or panic and rage can cause liver depression and qi stagnation, damage the spleen and stomach, and cause milk retention.

?? 2. Diverse diet and rich nutrition:

?? Diet is the source of Qi and blood production. To increase breast milk, there must be sufficient nutritional sources. You should pay attention to eating more foods that can increase milk, such as crucian carp soup, bone soup, chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, etc. Add 3 scallions or 5 grams of tongcao when cooking the soup, which will have a better lactation effect.

?? 3. Start breastfeeding early and suck more:

?? After delivery, breastfeeding should be started early. Breastfeeding can be started 1 to 2 hours after birth. Although there is not much milk at the beginning, the amount of milk will gradually increase through the baby's sucking. If there is too much milk and overfeeding, the breasts will become swollen and hard. You can use a breast pump to suck out the milk. Otherwise, if the milk is not expressed, it will be "held back" and become less and less.

?? 4. Hot compress:

?? Washing with warm water and applying a hot towel to the breasts can also help dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation and promote lactation.

?? 5. Taking medicine:

?? Take lactation-inducing drugs, such as lactation-inducing pills, raw lactose syrup, etc., and choose one.

?? Some women are not suitable for breastfeeding due to illness or other reasons, or their breasts are swollen and painful when weaning their children. At this time, they need to try to make the milk withdraw. To stop lactation, you can use roasted malt, 60 grams per day, decocted in water and taken orally. You can also add external medicine, use 250 grams of saltpeter, mash it, wrap it in cloth, soak it with hot water, and apply it on both sides of the breasts for 3 consecutive days.

The above are some methods of weaning that can help relieve the pain of mothers who are still lactating during breastfeeding. Among so many methods, there must be one that suits you. I hope this method can help young mothers so that you can suffer less injuries.
