Just to add on to the list, you can use disposable diaper for the warm compress. Simply fill the diaper with hot (but not scalding) water, squeeze out excess water, place the inside of the diaper on the breast. The diaper will stay warm for a longer period as compared to a cloth or towel. I’ve also heard of ladies using cold potato to help relieve the pain. Refrigerate a potato for a few hours, grate some of the potato and apple the grated potato over the affect breast. Cover with a clean wash cloth or towel, leave it on and lie down for five minutes. Repeat every hour throughout the day with freshly grated potato each time. Increase your vitamin C intake may help boost immune system and reduce inflammation. You can include food that are rich in vitamin C into your diet (e.g., citrus fruits, strawberries, tomato, green peppers, broccoli etc).
