What to do if your child has breast pain when weaning

When a child is weaned, the milk secretion of a woman's breast does not stop immediately. At this time, the breasts will become swollen and painful due to the accumulation of milk. If the breast pain is really uncomfortable, you can consider expressing the excess milk, but be careful not to express all the milk, otherwise it will stimulate the mammary glands to secrete more milk, which will cause more breast pain.

When weaning, go to the pharmacy and buy milk treasure or roasted malt and take it according to the instructions. You may feel swollen and painful on the second day of weaning. If it hurts a lot, squeeze it. If it swells too much, it will cause mastitis. Use four fingers to hold up the thumb and press two centimeters away from the nipple. Stop squeezing when it doesn't hurt. I squeezed on the first day, a little on the second day, and didn't squeeze on the third, fourth, and subsequent days. My suggestion is not to eat too much high-protein food or drink too much soup, so as not to cause severe breast engorgement. Also, do not let your baby develop the habit of sleeping while eating.

Weaning is a very painful thing. I have experienced it twice. It is so painful. Hug me, mom. Milk will slowly stop flowing when the milk supply is very high. If it is too high to bear, you can squeeze out a small amount to relieve it, but don't squeeze out too much. If you want to stop producing milk quickly, you can get a milk-suppressing injection or drink some milk tea, which will be effective faster. If you want to stop weaning naturally, you can eat some foods that help weaning, such as fennel, hawthorn, barley tea, chocolate, leeks, etc.

When you experience breast tenderness during weaning, you can consider applying ice packs to your breasts, which can significantly relieve the symptoms. Women should be careful when weaning. They should not let their babies suck again just because they cannot bear to see them cry. If they do so, weaning will not be successful and milk will continue to be secreted. If you find a lump in your breast, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
