What is the best way to stop the milk production without leading it to become a mastitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weaning.: By gradually reducing how much you are breast feeding your mild production will begin to drop off. If you stop suddenly, then you are more likely to develop temporary discomfort but not necessarily mastitis. Mastitis refers to a bacterial infection of the mammary glands.
