How to use the hot & cold breast pads?
A hot compress helps with milk flow by relaxing the breast tissue and dilating the milk ducts, which can ease the let-down reflex and promote smoother, more efficient breastfeeding. It can be used with a breast pump while expressing to help reduce expression time and increase milk flow.
A cold compress can help reduce swelling, numb pain, and alleviate discomfort from engorgement or mastitis.
Gently place pack on the affected breast, ensuring it is wrapped in a thin cloth or towel to protect your skin. Apply for 15-20 minutes at a time, and you can repeat this every 1-2 hours as needed.

FAQs
What are Breast Care Hot+Cold Packs and why might I need them?
How do I use the Hot+Cold packs correctly for best effect?
- For warm therapy: Heat the pack (for example in the microwave) for up to ~16 seconds (depending on your microwave) until it turns white. Use the warm pack before feeding or pumping to relax breast tissue and help milk flow.
- For cold therapy: Freeze the pack for ~2 hours until it turns purple, then apply (always wrapped in a thin cloth/towel) to ease swelling, numb pain and soothe engorgement or mastitis. Repeat use every 1-2 hours as needed for ~15-20 minutes.
- Clean and dry the pack before reuse. Always test temperature before applying to skin to avoid burns or frost damage.
Are these Hot+Cold Packs safe and suitable for everyday breastfeeding use?
When should I use the Hot+Cold Packs instead of other breast-care items?
- Engorgement (breasts are overly full, firm and tender)
- Mastitis or blocked milk ducts (localized pain, swelling, redness, possible fever)
- Wanting to aid milk expression/pumping with quicker let-down
- General discomfort in the breast area during breastfeeding. Using warm therapy helps with milk flow; cold therapy helps with pain and swelling. For broader breast-care tips, see the article on How to Care for Your Breasts While Breastfeeding.
What makes the New Beginnings Hot+Cold Packs stand out compared to standard nursing pads or cooling pads?
- Dual-function: both hot and cold therapy in one product.
- Colour-changing gel for temperature indication (white = hot ready, purple = cold ready) which takes guesswork out of whether the pack is at the correct temp.
- Design that moulds to the breast, and compatibility with breast pumps for warm use to support expression.
- Reusable, cost-efficient option for ongoing nursing support rather than single-use patches.

- TamaraVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoWarm & Cooling Breast Pad
I was first recommended the cooling nursing pad by a friend for those first few weeks after my milk came in and MY GOODNESS was it a life saver. Comfortable to wear inside my bra and easy enough to clean. I couldn't recommend this breast hot/cold therapy pad enough.

Perfect for all breadt feeding mamas!!
- Amy W.Rated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoBreast feeding essential !
Being a first time mum everything is so new.
When I started to feel my breasts becoming sore just before my milk coming in, I used these hot and cold packs (heat) to help support the easing of pain and the flow.
They were so easy to use, placing in the microwave, and the relief was beautiful.
I recommend having one pack for heat always, and then keeping one pack in the freezer. You can’t have enough packs really! They are amazing !
