Congratulations to Irena Zakarija-Grković, co-director od Cochrane Croatia, on publishing a systematic review on: Treatments for breast engorgement during lactation.
Engorgement is the overfilling of breasts with milk, often occurring in the early days postpartum. It results in swollen, hard, painful breasts and may lead to premature cessation of breastfeeding, decreased milk production, cracked nipples and mastitis. Various treatments have been studied but little consistent evidence has been found on effective interventions.
