Our Breast ice/heat packs can be warmed or cooled to assist with your breastfeeding journey. They are designed to fit with ease inside your bra (nursing or normal), around your breasts and nipples, and even your breast pump! They are fantastic to use heated while pumping or expressing to assist with easing the flow of milk as you pump.
