How many days does it take for a mother's breasts to stop being hard after she stops breastfeeding?

Generally, when a mother is weaning her baby, her breasts will become harder and harder during these days, and it will be very painful when pressed. So it is a very torturous thing for the mother. However, how many days it takes for the mother to quickly stop weaning actually depends on different factors. So the most important thing is to understand the most scientific and effective method of weaning to relieve the pain.

When a mother can no longer breastfeed her baby for various reasons, or is preparing to wean her baby, if she still has a lot of milk, she needs to wean her baby.

When weaning, you can use the swelling method: let your breasts swell and endure the pain. After about a week, they will swell back. During the weaning period, you must be patient and avoid letting your baby suck intermittently or expressing milk due to bloating and pain. Doing so will inevitably prolong the weaning time.

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)

Some mothers do not have much milk before weaning their babies. At this time, they do not need to take any medication 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.

The above is an introduction for mothers to some methods of weaning. Through these introductions, I hope everyone can pay attention to it, because weaning is actually a very torturous process for mothers. So if you want to reduce suffering and relieve pain, you should pay attention to the most effective methods of weaning.
