How come there is still milk after six days of weaning?

If a newborn is born, the mother will breastfeed the baby until the baby has been breastfed for a period of time, and then the mother will wean the child. Weaning is actually a relatively difficult process. The baby will cry and make a fuss, and the mother has to go through the process of weaning. Some mothers still have milk five days after weaning. How come I still have milk on the fifth day after weaning?

1. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally, it takes about ten days after weaning for the baby to feel bloating and pain. If it has been five days since weaning and your breasts are still swollen and painful and have lumps, you can use a manual breast pump to suck out the milk. Eat less high-calorie foods and less spicy and irritating ingredients in the past few days. Breast pain can be treated by applying heat, gentle massage, and try not to squeeze or squeeze. Pay attention to rest, and you can also drink some malt water to reduce milk production.

2. When your breasts are painful, you can use a manual breast pump to express the milk appropriately, but not too often. Only when the breasts feel severely swollen can they be sucked out, and they can be sucked out completely in one go, but the frequency should not be too frequent, otherwise it will affect the milk-removing effect. In addition, maintain a happy mood and believe that the milk will gradually stop flowing, so don't be too anxious.

Weaning a child off breastfeeding is a whole process and it is not something that can be successfully done in just one or two days. Although breast pain is very uncomfortable, mothers still have to persevere. After a period of breast pain, it will gradually become less painful and will recover after milk production stops.

Breast milk is the best natural food for baby growth. Babies need to be weaned from breastfeeding at a certain age, usually between eight and twelve months, which is the best time to wean babies. Weaning is a very important thing for both babies and mothers. But why do some women still have milk after weaning?

If the baby is very dependent on breast milk, mothers cannot wean the baby all at once. At this time, they can adopt a gradual approach, reducing the frequency of breastfeeding day by day, and then completely weaning the baby after a period of time. Some women often still have milk after weaning because it is related to the growth hormone in the mother's body. It may be accompanied by breast pain, and the body usually feels uncomfortable. In addition, the disappearance of growth hormone requires a whole process, but generally the time will not be too long, at least a few weeks or at most a year, mothers do not need to worry too much.
