[Rosance]

I applied heat before pumping this morning and these were the results: 1 cm of increased swelling and softer breasts. Usually when I am done pumping (after an hour), the breasts feel a little hard. I feel like I have to massage them in order to soften them up. However, after applying heat and an hour of pumping, I noticed that there was a little bit of increase in swelling and that they were not hard, but rather smooth. I think that the warmth encourages the skin to stretch better, which might lead to softer tissue. I actually liked the applying of the heat and might continue doing it
