A member asked:
I was told to apply cold compressions to my sore milk filled breast for comfort until all milk is gone what are cold compressions ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat vs. cold: Hot compresses are better than cold ones because they help dilate the breast milk ducts and help the flow of milks. Cold compresses are helpful after injuries to help with the swelling.
