Breastfeeding pads cool/hot

Hot or cold compresses are useful tools for nursing mothers, as they can help relieve various discomforts associated with breastfeeding.

Cold compresses

Use: Used primarily to reduce swelling and pain, especially in cases of breast engorgement or mastitis.

Benefits:

Pain relief.

Reduction of swelling.

Helps to deflate the breasts after a breastfeeding session.

Application: It is recommended to apply the cold compress for 10-15 minutes. Can be used several times a day as needed.

Hot Compresses

Use: These are ideal for preparing the breasts before breastfeeding, helping to soften breast tissue and facilitate milk let-down.
Benefits:

Relief of tension and pain.

Stimulation of milk flow.

Relaxation of breast muscles and tissues.

Application: Can be applied for 10-15 minutes before breastfeeding, and can also be useful after breastfeeding if there is discomfort.
Considerations

It is important to make sure the compresses are not too hot or too cold to avoid burning or irritation.

Consult a health care professional if discomfort persists, as it may be a sign of a larger problem. Both options are practical and can make the breastfeeding experience more comfortable and pleasurable.
