One good tip I still practiced till now is to spare some frozen cabbage leaves throughout the 1st month of breastfeeding or till you have mastered breastfeeding skills.Its NOT an easy task to breastfed your baby.You may face problems such as little milk, too much milk could also be a problem as it could lead to breast engorgement and later you'll experienced chapped, sored or even bled nipples.The frozen cabbage leaves could somehow ease the engorged pain by just cupping it over your breast.It works for me.I also take Pulsatilla (Wind Flower).3 doses is enough to soothe my engorgement.
And another 1 helpful tip is to continue breastfeeding your baby.The more milk the baby feeds, the better the milk will flow, and soon the engorgement will soothe away by itself.Engorgement is a normal thing for me.It happens during my 1st and 2nd child.Its a normal signal your body shows when more milk need to be produced.Do not dab or soothe the engorged breast with anything warm because it can make pain even more unbearable.Frozen cabbage leaves does the trick.
Breastfed your baby correctly.You won't want to end up with sored nipples.Make sure the whole of the dark area (aureole) fits into your baby's mouth.The baby must not suck in his lips together while feeding.I close an eye on this issue.As a result, I experienced sored nipples and blocked ducts from time to time during my 1st child.
