mom aftercare

Cold therapy reduces engorgement, swelling and pain; heat helps relieve plugged ducts, mastitis and can encourage milk let‑down. Many packs are reusable and designed to be chilled or warmed for repeated use.

Options include ergonomic peri bottles (portable bidet-style rinsers) and medicated perineal foams containing witch hazel that provide cooling relief and reduce swelling. Some foams and pads note refrigeration for extra cooling.

Nipple care is available as organic herbal creams or balms (some of which do not require removal before nursing) and as hydrogel cooling pads with fabric backing. Creams or balms are typically applied before or after nursing as the product directs; hydrogel pads soothe and protect the nipple and can be refrigerated for extra cooling.
