How can i prevent breast engorgement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nursing or binding: Nursing your child will certainly prevent breast engorgement, though if you do not intend to breast feed, you can try binding them as tight as you can stand it for a couple of weeks, and it should suppress your natural lactation.
