Introduction: One of the most important changes occurs in the body of a pregnant woman is postpartum milk secretion. If the baby is not fed from this milk or the milk is not drained from the mother's breast in any other manner, some maternal problems will be arised. There are numerous drug and non-drug interventions to suppress lactation after childbirth and relief of its symptoms in women. This review report aimed to investigate the literature involved in this field to offer a single protocol in such cases. In the search strategy , we used the keywords of suppression of lactation, Treatments for suppression of lactation, Drugs in breastfeeding, Lactation after Perinatal, Neonatal, or Infant Loss by referring to the valid scientific databases, including Sciencedirect, Pubmed, Elsevier, Cochrane, and about 26 relevant papers were received and analyzed.
Conclusion: Currently, the recommended methods for the cessation of lactation in women with necessary indications are not conclusive for all involved women. Identification and applying different methods to suppress lactation in mothers who have been banned to use milk for various reasons, can significantly help them to better manage suppression of lactation. Based on the relevant systematic review study, it seems that in case of low maternal milk secretion, it is better to use non-pharmacological methods to suppress lactation because of their fewer side effects; but the most effective treatments are the use of Bromocriptine and Cabergoline. But still the most common treatment for the suppression of lactation is administration of Estrasiol.

Keywords: Suppression of Lactation, Breastfeeding, Limiting Breastfeeding
