In order to provide the best breast milk for the baby, mothers try every possible way to breastfeed during breastfeeding, just to meet the baby's growth needs and make the baby grow stronger. But during weaning, the mother also faces the challenge of returning milk. During the period of returning milk, the breasts are swollen, painful, and uncomfortable. How many days does it usually take for the second child to increase milk after weaning?
Current parenting experts do not recommend mothers to take back milk medicine or receive back and forth milk injections, and advocate mothers to naturally return milk. If this method is used to return milk, it may take about seven days for the milk to be completely returned. But each mother's milk secretion is different, and the length of time for milk to rise also varies. If the mother's milk secretion is consistently sufficient, it may take longer.
In order to alleviate the pain of lactation, during weaning, mothers should eat less of foods that are used for milk production, especially soups, which should be avoided. You can eat some foods with milk returning effects, such as chives and persimmons, in moderation. If the effect of returning milk is not ideal, some folk remedies can be used to return milk. It can be mixed with some malt brown sugar water, which has a good milk return effect.
In order to return to breastfeeding as soon as possible, mothers must gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding before weaning, and also shorten the duration of breastfeeding. This can reduce the baby's sucking stimulation on the breasts, and milk secretion will naturally decrease. During this period, adding complementary foods to the baby in moderation can also help with weaning.
