Have any of you Lactnetters heard about or had experience with Flectalon
Breast Warmers? They are being marketed here in Western Australia through
pharmacies, as a treatment for blocked ducts and mastitis. They are
basically a breast pad made up of strips of reflective material (like that
used to line insides of incubators for premmies) that hold the heat in when
worn inside the bra.

NMAA is trying to get them tested on some mums, but this can be tricky
finding some mums with the right symptoms at the right time. The person
promoting them said that they are widely used in Sweden. Just wondered if
any of you know anything about them.
