Weaning a child from breastfeeding is a great challenge for both the mother and baby,When a child is weaned from breast this can result to pain for the mother due to breast engorgement. The baby may also take some time to adjust to the new rules.
Some women may have fever as a result of the weaning, if it happens do not worry much as this fever usually subsides after few days.
These are five basic things that can help you cope well after weaning your baby
1.Get a firm bra that you will be wearing more often,this holds the breasts firm and also reduce pain
2.Massage the breast with warm water but do not press out the breastmilk.
3.Rest more and take enough fluid
4. If you are having fever or chills,take Paracetamol.
5. Get enough sleep and you will be okay
Within 3-7days of weaning,your worries will be over, and you will tend to recover from most of the pains and worries.
Thank You and Remain blessed.
