Suggest Remedy For Acid Reflux In An Infant
Hi I have an 8 week old baby who has been diagnosed with severe reflux and an allergy to milk protein and lactose. My paediatrician has prescribed a special formula and told me to quit breastfeeding straight away. My breasts are very painful and engorged. What can I do to help with this pain and stop producing milk without getting any infection

Hello. thank you for your query. As a Lactation Consultant i would suggest you to relieve the milk from your breast with hand pumping. You can apply ice packs after pumps or some cabbage leaves. Also don't stimulate your breast too often because this will make more milk production. You can take this antigalactogogues to help reduce your milk supply: Barley Sprout,Black Walnut,Bugleweed,Flannel seed,Parsley,Peony, Peppermint,Pigeon Pea,Pygeum,Sage
