How to eat roasted malt hawthorn to reduce milk production

Many mothers will experience breast pain, fever or breast lumps after weaning their babies. At this time, mothers can boil some roasted malt water to drink, which is very helpful for weaning and reduces the chance of breast lumps, making the weaning process less painful for mothers. When boiling water with roasted malt, you can add some hawthorn to it, which will make the effect better.

Ingredients: 10g malt; 3g hawthorn; 15g brown sugar

Preparation method: First, fry the hawthorn slices and malt separately until they are charred (you can also buy roasted malt and dried hawthorn slices from a Chinese medicine store). Put the fried hawthorn slices and fried malt into a clean small pot, add 400ml of water, bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn to low heat and continue heating for 15 minutes. Let the boiled water cool down a little, add brown sugar and it is ready to drink.

effect:

This drink can help weaning, relieve breast pain and milk stagnation during weaning, and can be drunk instead of water during weaning.

Things to note when weaning

1. If your breasts are swollen and uncomfortable, you can squeeze out the milk, but don't squeeze it out completely, otherwise it will promote milk secretion and have the opposite effect.

2. During the weaning period, you should pay attention to reducing stimulation to the breasts and nipples. The secretion of prolactin will decrease accordingly, and the secretion of milk will gradually decrease. Never let your baby suck your breast milk or touch it, and avoid using hot water to rinse your breasts when taking a shower.

3. You can use ice packs to cool your breasts to relieve the feeling of swelling.

4. If you find a lump in your breast, rub it with your hands in time to prevent mastitis.

5. When choosing diet during weaning, you should avoid foods that promote milk secretion, such as peanuts, pig's trotters, crucian carp, soups, etc., and eat less protein-rich foods, which can reduce milk secretion. During the weaning period, you should also pay attention to reducing the water intake in your diet.

6. You must be patient during the weaning period. No matter how much the baby cries or makes a fuss, do not let the baby suck intermittently. Do not rub chili peppers or other irritating things on the nipples. If you squeeze milk due to swelling and pain, this will inevitably prolong the weaning time.

7. Try to avoid using hormone drugs or milk-suppressing injections, as they can easily cause breast atrophy or breast secretion problems.
