Try chilled cabbage leaves  .Cabbage leaves have traditionally been used to treat engorgement by decreasing excess tissue swelling. When the swelling goes down the milk can flow more easily, relieving the engorgement. Reducing this inflammation makes mom much more comfortable.

To reduce pain, apply cool compresses to your nipples after breastfeeding. Gel pads can also be used on dry nipples. If your nipples are very sore, placing breast shields inside your bra to prevent contact between clothes and nipples may help. Use proper breast support.
