I used lanisoh soothies in the beginning for soreness and refrigerated them. On the advice of the LC at the hospital, I nursed LO very frequently in the early days and never experienced any engorgement - my milk came in super fast and transitioned smoothly. I've heard bags of peas work well for engorgement though :) </p> T-Mom on "Another Post-Partum question: Breast gel pads or Booby Tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-partum-question-breast-gel-pads-or-booby-tubes#post-847113 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:51:50 +0000 T-Mom 847113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: its' like a rice sock, but for your boob. <a href="http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/booby-tubes.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/booby-tubes.html</a> </p> .twist. on "Another Post-Partum question: Breast gel pads or Booby Tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-partum-question-breast-gel-pads-or-booby-tubes#post-847103 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:50:28 +0000 .twist. 847103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the heck is a booby tube!? </p> T-Mom on "Another Post-Partum question: Breast gel pads or Booby Tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-partum-question-breast-gel-pads-or-booby-tubes#post-847100 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:49:28 +0000 T-Mom 847100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used gel pads for the early days when I had a lot of nipple tenderness, and booby tubes were for later when I had mastitis or plugged ducts! </p> Anagram on "Another Post-Partum question: Breast gel pads or Booby Tubes?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/another-post-partum-question-breast-gel-pads-or-booby-tubes#post-847007 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 09:26:50 +0000 Anagram 847007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely want to get *something* for engorgement/breast tenderness in general for when my milk comes in, because I tend to have very achy/sensitive boobs during periods/all throughout my first 22 weeks of pregnancy, etc.</p> <p>Did you use the gel pads or booby tubes or something else? Which do you recommend and why? </p>
