Breast thermo pad

Hi mummies, ftm here and preparing baby stuff. Do I need 1 set of breast thermo or best to standby 2 sets. 1 specifically for cold treatment, put in freezer(cold) & 1 for microwave(heat). I read that if we get painful engorgement, we can use cold therapy first to relieve the pain then heat therapy. But if i have 1 set, scared i dont have enough time to freeze it when i need the cold therapy. So thought of keeping 1 set just in freezer, another one for microwave. What do mummies think? Is it necessary ? I dont have experience so abit noob here. Usually will both boob feel engorged at the same time or usually only one at a time ? #pleasehelp #FTM

there’s no saying whether it will be engorged one at a time or both together, engorgement happens because there’s congestion of milk. don’t think it’s necessary. in my one year of breastfeeding, ive only used warm compress and never had mastitis before.
