clean nipples always

I am a mother of two children. I will share with you the wisdom my mother passed down to me.
1. Cold compress: Putting a cold compress – or even a bag of frozen veggies – on your breast in between feedings may help to reduce some of the swelling and pain.
2. Before feedings, encourage your milk flow. Put a warm, moist washcloth on your breasts or take a warm shower for 10-20 minutes.
3. Cabbage leaves
You've probably heard that cabbage leaves can help with a host of breastfeeding discomforts. With mastitis, they can do wonders for the pain and inflammation. A study revealed that cool cabbage leaves are just as effective as hot compresses for breast discomfort and engorgement.
4.Relief for Engorgement
Put a warm, moist washcloth on your breasts or take a warm shower for 10-20 minutes. Massage your breasts before and during feedings, moving from the chest wall to the nipple. If your breast is hard, hand express or pump a little milk before nursing.

try more feed to your baby, having luke warm water

who knows better than me..I am a mom of two...and have hyperlactation .. during the first year of feeding I change my bra and t-shirt almost 4 to 5 times a day irrespective of using breast pads (cloth ones, reusable (mee Mee) and use and throw (luvlap))..
breast engorgement is something which has become routine for me...
now how I tackle it -
** I use ice packs first..then take a bath with lukewarm water...this helps the glands to loosen the milk ( you can see the milk flowing automatically 😜)....

** i would suggest to gentle massage ur breast (make sure not too hard) using coconut oil avoiding the nipples at least twice this also helps alot...

** also try feeding ur baby frequently...it might be painful if it is engorged but that is how it is...

**I have used breast pump too but realized that the milk is more produced if u use it ..so I have given up on this machine🙈

also one problem I face is a white spot on my nipples..which is basically a nipple blockage or milk blister...so it's like very painful when u are feeding the baby but it will only go when u bear that pain..in one or two feeds it will go away...

so pretty ladies take care and happy feeding🙂
