Milk engorgement and stasis

Engorgement and milk stasis are among the most common problems for new breastfeeding mothers, and often recur. Heavy, swollen, sore, hot and reddened breasts cause considerable pain, often lead to a fever, and can even produce flu-like symptoms (aching muscles, shivering).

Apart from antibiotics (in the case of stasis) and natural methods, there are few other effective ways of relieving the pain quickly. Kinesiotaping is one of the most effective.
