hi Fiona,
this may help you:

re the warm compresses it says:
"Avoiding cold stress is the mainstay of treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon.
It is of interest that not only the affected part but the whole body needs
to be kept warm to avoid reflex sympathetic vasoconstriction (17) . Patients
should therefore be advised to breastfeed in a warm environment, to wear
warm clothing and to avoid cold exposure at all times. Once painful
vasospasm has occurred warming the nipples (for example by using warm
compresses) may be helpful."
I am sure there would be lots in the archives too
