But when many mothers wean, they will suffer from the pain of milk swelling and even breast lump. At this time, they can squeeze out a small amount of milk with their hands to reduce the swelling of the breast, so as to avoid excessive milk deposition leading to mastitis. It should be noted that, do not squeeze more, extrude a part of the denominator milk to be softened after the breast will stop. Do not use the electric sucking device to suck milk.

It takes about 5-7 days for the milk to rise after weaning. In this period of time, the mother can return milk by eating some milk returning food, such as malt, leek, balsam pear and other ingredients, pepper and fennel, etc. the diet should be light and avoid greasy and irritant food, do not drink nourishing milk promoting soup, so as to avoid stimulating milk secretion and prolonging milk rising time.
