<<We did the old LLL
trick of placing a warmed (nearly hot) canning jar on the breast, so that
the
nipple, areola and some breast tissue are inside the jar. Within a few
minutes, the vacuum from the cooling jar became strong enough to start a
let
down.....had 2 ounces of milk in no time flat.
>Oh my -- does this really work for this kind of engorgement? This is a
great thing to know about! I had a situation this summer that could have
used this!
One more thing I have missed by not being active in LLL :)<
I don't know about this from LLLI, it is in the 40 hour breastfeeding course
from UNICEF/WHO and I do recommend to women -- although, of course, here it
is 'bottling' and no one does it any more [one clear area where the USA lags
behind in modern technology -- interesting, isn't it?] and Kilner jars are
not the usual choice of receptacle ;-)
