Returning milk is the last step before weaning the baby. For many mothers who plan to wean, returning milk is a very important problem. If the method of returning milk is not correct, it may bring great pain to both the mother and the baby. Even some mothers in order to more quickly back to the milk, when the milk is not willing to squeeze out, let it distend pain, and finally lead to mastitis. So how can we quickly and safely return milk? Come and have a look!
First of all, we should reduce the stimulation to the breast, reduce the times of breast feeding for the baby, or lengthen the interval of breast feeding time. In addition, we should pay attention not to wash the breast with too hot water. If the breast is very swollen, don't rush to squeeze out all the milk, which will stimulate the secretion of milk. We can squeeze out part of it. If it is still swollen badly, we can use a towel wrapped with ice for a period of time.
Second, in terms of diet, we can eat some foods that reduce milk secretion, such as maltose, leek, hawthorn, balsam pear, chocolate and so on. For the time being, do not eat foods that promote milk secretion, such as pig's feet, crucian carp, eggs and other high protein foods.
Third, it's better not to choose to return milk in summer. It's hot in summer. The gastrointestinal function of both the baby and the mother will be weakened. Weaning is easy to be bad for the baby at this time. And don't force weaning, you can make the baby's complementary food good-looking and delicious, and the baby won't want to drink breast milk after a long time.
Fourth, if none of the above methods can be used, we can try the drug back to milk method, but the drug is three-way toxic. If mothers want to take drugs, it's better to get the doctor's permission from the hospital.
