With the birth of a child, women have questions about breastfeeding . For example: what to do if the milk is too much, and the child should already be weaned?
When should I finish breastfeeding?
The best nutrient for the growing baby's body is breast milk. But it is not always possible and necessary to feed the child in this way. The reason for this may be not only the desire of a woman or the need to absent herself, but also the health of mother and baby.

- an open form of tuberculosis in a woman;
- a baby - metabolic disorders.
From 6 months, you need to introduce complementary foods, reducing the amount of milk. And in some women, natural feeding turns into torture: milk is too much and the glands constantly raise pressure, which provokes pain.
Tablets that burn breast milk

Choice of preparation
The choice of tablets for the combustion of breast milk should be approached very responsibly. It is better to consult with an experienced gynecologist, to prevent side effects: breast tenderness, depression, falling blood pressure.
