As silly as it sounds, frozen diapers can provide relief to sore breasts during the first few weeks of breastfeeding. Just add a little water to two newborn sized diapers and freeze them. After a feeding, place the open diapers over your breasts. They conveniently fit in all the right places, and provide a lot of comfort too.
Another tip: before a feeding, place a warm heating pad or warm wash cloth over your breasts. The warmth helps the let down of your milk and it helps discomfort.
I remember wearing the frozen diapers after feedings. They used to stick out of my nursing tank top. :-) I must have looked silly, but it definitely helped!
