How much breast milk should be used to wean?

In fact, mothers do not necessarily need to wean if they have insufficient milk. If they do have insufficient milk, they should still pay attention to their diet. For example, eating more crucian carp and tofu soup or pig's trotters stewed with soybeans can help stimulate milk production. In addition, mothers should let their babies suck their nipples more often, which can stimulate the secretion of milk. At the same time, a happy mood is also the best for milk secretion.

Moreover, as for when to wean the baby, it does not depend on how little breast milk there is, but on the baby's acceptance. If the baby is not very dependent on breast milk, you can wean the baby slowly if the baby is willing.

How to relieve milk swelling after weaning

1. If you feel uncomfortable with breast engorgement after weaning, you can apply a cold cotton towel to relieve the discomfort. Go to the pharmacy to buy maltose and hawthorn fruit and boil them in water. Boil 10 grams each time and drink two bowls of water a day.

2. Do not squeeze the milk to avoid mastitis. When the milk is severely swollen, you can squeeze out some of it by hand, but do not squeeze it frequently, as it will increase the secretion of milk and is not conducive to milk withdrawal.

3. Eat more foods that can reduce milk production, such as amaranth, oatmeal, rye, etc.

4. After weaning, mothers should drink less nourishing soups, especially some milk-inducing soups, to help reduce milk secretion and stop milk production faster.

In fact, some mothers will encounter problems with insufficient milk or even little breast milk during the period of exclusive breastfeeding. In this case, it is recommended to drink more nourishing soups that promote milk production or lactation. In addition, mothers don’t need to be anxious. Maintaining a happy mood is also beneficial to lactation. In addition, you can also do more breast massages.

(1) From the simple to the complex, with natural connection. The timing and method of weaning depends on many factors. Every mother and baby has different experiences after weaning, and the method chosen varies from person to person.

(2) Feed less breast milk and drink more cow's milk. When you first start weaning, you can give your baby some formula milk every day, and you can also drink fresh skim milk. It should be noted that the baby should be encouraged to drink more milk as much as possible, but if he wants to breastfeed, the mother should not refuse him.

(3) Stop feeding before bedtime and at night.
