Dear Friends:
To add to Linda's post, there is no evidence showing that cold is good for
swollen breasts either.
Here is a topic "Heat or cold for treatment of mastitis" that desperately
needs some research, if anyone needs a thesis topic!
In addition, there are women that will not nurse if they are contact with
cold, as they believe it will make their milk bad. This is a reflection of
cultural beliefs about the postpartum state being a cold, or contractive one.
warmly,
