Mastitis/Let Down

The small wheat packs and covers can be used by mothers with mastitis, or to help encourage the let-down reflex. For both these situations, apply the wheat pack just before, or as, you start feeding/expressing. For mothers with mastitis, hold the wheat pack over the sore area of your breast, and alternate with massage of this area, to help drain the blockage. See our mastitis and let-down pages for further information.
