After a child is weaned, there will definitely be residual milk present. Therefore, breastfeeding for a long time after weaning may result in residual milk. As a result, some mothers may ask if these residual milk need to be treated after weaning their children. So, should a child be weaned without residual milk?
In fact, the breast is not just a container, it is also a very important part of the human body. There are mammary glands in the breast that can secrete milk, and the secreted milk can also flow and change according to the situation. Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a container.
When the breasts are no longer needed to continue producing milk, the excess milk in the breasts will gradually be absorbed by the body. Therefore, the residual milk inside does not need to be discharged. According to the principle of lactation, if the milk is stimulated more, the milk produced later will also be much more. Therefore, non stimulation is undoubtedly the best way to return milk.
However, if there is still a significant amount of breast milk flowing out one or two years after weaning, it is not residual milk, but rather other breast diseases. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to see what is causing the occurrence of excessive breast milk, and then receive targeted treatment for related diseases.
