How to stop lactation with the help of medicines and folk methods?

The benefits of breast milk for the baby are not in doubt. It is pleasant that breastfeeding again becomes “fashionable” and young mothers do not refuse to feed the baby with full -fledged mother's milk. But the time comes when lactation must be stopped. How to suppress breast milk production? What is better: modern tablets or "grandmother" recipes to use to solve the problem? Let's try to figure it out.

At what age to feed the baby with breast milk?

Currently, it is believed that the baby should be breastfeed for up to a year or a year and a half, or even more. Gradually, other foods are added to the baby’s diet, and the amount of breast milk is reduced. Modern pediatricians believe what to excommunicate the baby from the chest It is possible in the presence of almost all the milk teeth and when the crumbs fade away the sucking reflex.

This process can be delayed even up to 2-3 years. At this time, the child usually refuses the mother’s breast. Such a scenario of the cessation of breastfeeding occurs naturally and physiologically, without injuring her mother and her baby.

Why do mothers stop lactation?

Other life situations happen when a woman has to abandon breastfeeding and stop lactation. Premature refusal of breastfeeding may be associated with the causes:

• anomalous structure of the mother nipples and undeveloped chest glands;
• repeated pregnancy;
• for medical reasons;
• when a woman goes to work and the inability to maintain breastfeeding;
• a matured child and the transition to full baby food.

When you can not excommunicate a baby from your chest?

Refusing breastfeeding is a stressful situation, both for the mother and the baby. Milk cannot abruptly disappear from the chest glands. Milk production causes pain and chest stress, causing a certain discomfort in a woman.

The child even more heavily tolerates “parting” with maternal breasts. Emotions, tears, whims - accompany excommunication from breastfeeding. As a rule, the child begins to get sick more often, diseases are heavier and longer than before.

The baby cannot be excommunicated from the chest in the following circumstances:

• the summer period when the opportunity is great to catch intestinal infection;
• during the teething period in the baby;
• during illness and elevated body temperature of the child;
• at the stage of the change of life situations: moving, the appearance of a nanny, a journey, a kindergarten.

In any case, to decide the mother: whether it is so necessary to deprive mother’s milk with a crumb at this stage. Before you decide on such a step, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons, remembering the saying: "Measure seven times - cut one."
