Weaning is a major event for babies to grow up, and it is also a hurdle for mothers.

But what must be said is that many times, when it comes to the process of weaning, most of us think in advance about the baby\’s feelings and the problems that the baby will have. For example, the baby refuses to drink milk powder, the baby would rather cry hungry than try a bottle, etc.! At this time, we often ignore the other party in the same weaning event, that is, our \”mobile bottle\”, our mother. For children, most children will be transitioned to complementary foods and milk powder before weaning off breast milk. For weaned mothers, almost all mothers use simple and crude methods to return milk. In order to reduce lactation, mothers have to stop drinking soup and water, and some even stop drinking water. Obviously this goes against physiological laws. Regular amounts of fluid intake are still needed. What\’s more, in order to avoid dripping milk, some people use towels to strangle their breasts, which can easily cause breast swelling and pain. Mothers after weaning may experience varying degrees of breast engorgement. Especially mothers who usually have sufficient milk supply will have to suffer a lot at this time. Doudehui reminded that when breast engorgement occurs, it is best to use a breast pump to suck out the milk, or drink some malt or hawthorn tea. Of course, this varies from person to person, and some mothers are more effective. Breastfeeding will obviously return in 3-4 days. In short, do not hold on during the period of breast enlargement. If the milk is not sucked out in time, in addition to the risk of mastitis, the milk cannot really be returned. It will only cause milk to accumulate in the breast ducts, forming milk knots, and eventually lead to chronic breast diseases. Weaning is an important growth hurdle for children, and it is the same for mothers. Therefore, we appeal to all families, when weaning their children, please do not ignore the mother\’s feelings during the weaning period. After the baby is weaned, the mother\’s hormones will change, and a series of negative emotions will appear. At the same time, she will face physical pain caused by milk engorgement. After weaning, the mother also needs the care of her family.
