Treatment for godesh: 1 Latch your baby correctly onto the breast. ( see pictures in the gallery) Make sure that he takes as much of the hila under the nipple as possible. If the godesh makes it difficult to latch, then hand express a little milk before the feed. Do not put hot compresses or hot water on the breast. This will make the godesh worse!! 2. If the baby was attached correctly, then you should feel an improvement as he feeds. 3. Ice packs after the feed. Take a titul, pour 1/3 cup of water into it, put it into the freezer, and when it is frozen, put it on the breast. ( see picture in the gallery) 4. Let the baby finish the first breast, change his diaper, then offer the second breast. 5 If you are having problems with the above, then you need a yoetset hanaka. Tell me where you live and I will refer you to someone in your area.
