Can warm compresses with a towel be used during engorgement when weaning?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It cannot be used for heat therapy. Oral galactagogues such as ethinyl estradiol can be taken. If nausea occurs after taking them, vitamin B6 can be added. Alternatively, 60 grams of raw barley and 30 grams of raw hawthorn can be decocted as tea to induce lactation. It takes 3-4 days for the milk to subside. Avoid heat therapy or massage.
