Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ice packs to each breast help in lactation suppression by reducing swelling and discomfort associated with engorgement, thereby signaling the body to decrease milk production. Warm showers, pumping milk, and avoiding wearing a bra can actually stimulate milk production or increase discomfort, which is not conducive to lactation suppression.
