How long does it take to stop milk production after drinking hawthorn malt water?

Boiling malt in water is a common folk method to help postpartum women stop breastfeeding. In particular, boiling roasted malt in water has a good effect on stopping breastfeeding in some postpartum women. Since there are many factors that affect the effect of malt water in weaning, the specific number of days depends mainly on the amount of milk and dietary structure of the mother. If the breast milk is very sufficient, then the weaning process will be slower. If the milk is less, then the weaning effect will be better. In order to ensure the effectiveness of weaning, it is recommended not to eat nutrients and meat that help milk production, but to focus on a light diet.

Methods of weaning

There are two main methods of weaning: natural weaning and artificial weaning. Generally speaking, for those who have been weaned normally after breastfeeding for 10 months to 1 year, natural weaning methods can often be used; while for those who have been weaned before breastfeeding for less than 10 months due to various diseases or special reasons, artificial weaning methods are often used, such as boiling water with raw malt, to achieve the weaning effect. In addition, during normal weaning, if there is too much milk and natural weaning is not effective, artificial weaning methods can also be used.

Natural weaning means gradually reducing the number of breastfeeding times, lengthening the intervals between breastfeedings, and shortening the duration of a single breastfeeding, as mentioned earlier. This will reduce the baby's sucking stimulation and naturally reduce milk secretion. At the same time, you should pay attention to eating less soup and milk-inducing foods, so that milk secretion will gradually decrease until it disappears completely.

Artificial weaning is a method of reducing milk secretion by using various weaning drugs. Estrogen drugs can be taken orally or injected intramuscularly, such as oral ethinyl estradiol, 5 mg each time, 3 times a day, for 3 to 5 days; or intramuscular injection of estradiol benzoate, 2 mg each time, 2 times a day, for 3 to 5 days. Oral or external use of Chinese herbal medicines to stop milk production can also have good effects, such as 120g of roasted malt, boiled in water, and taken warm in 3 doses; or 1 bowl of soy milk, add a little white sugar; or first suck out the milk, use 50-60g of saltpeter, put it in a gauze bag, apply it to the breasts, and replace it in time after deliquesce, 3-4 times a day.

In addition to typical milk-reducing foods, such as barley tea, maltose, leeks, pepper, aniseed (fennel), MSG, ginseng, hawthorn, chocolate, bitter melon, etc. It should be noted that there are also foods that are too raw, cold, or spicy, so you don't need to be too strict with your diet. After paying attention to what foods can cause weaning, experts remind us that when weaning, we should avoid foods that promote milk secretion, such as peanuts, pig's trotters, crucian carp, soups, etc. Otherwise, we will get half the result with twice the effort.
