 Your Breast Friends Hot/Cold Therapy for Breast EngorgementMoist heat therapy can be an effective aid in relieving breast pain due to clogged milk ducts or the milk let-down reflex during lactation. Moist heat can also assist in expediting post-operative healing. Your Breast Friends, with their innovative ring-shaped design, allow for the convenient application of warmth to the breasts, but not the sensitive nipple/areolar complex, even while performing other related tasks such as nursing, pumping or treating inverted nipples. Breast shields used to treat inverted or cracked/sore nipples can be left in place while heat is applied prior to breastfeeding, right up to latch-on. The application of moist heat to the breast before and during pumping or breastfeeding encourages a faster let-down of the breastmilk, helping to unclog milk ducts and decrease pumping/feeding time. Continued application of warmth to the breast during pumping more closely simulates breastfeeding, resulting in increased milk volumes and more complete emptying of the breast in the same amount of time. This is particularly helpful to the working mother, or mothers of multiples, but would help any breastfeeding mother. For accurate sizing, measure from the chest wall on the side of your left breast, across the nipple, to the center chest wall on the other side. Choose Medium if this measurement is 10" or less.
