@Khalli, I beg to differ ma. Cold compress is what is needed and not hot. Hot water aid in opening d duct for more milk flow while cold is opposite. I used cold compress, dip towel in very cold water and just place around the breast, wear a tight bra on it and leave as such. Re-dip d towel in cold water when it is hot or dry, continue like that over night. The heaviness and pain will subside gradually

Awwwh sorry dear. Just weaned my one year old too. Boil a very hot water, den mix a lil cold water with it. Jus lil cold water. Dip in a clean towel into it and bring out and squeeze it. Den place d towel on d two breasts. Dont massage with it. Just place d hot towel on d breasts. Do that with d hot towel for like 5times and afterwards jus use mentholateum on dbreast. Again dont press d breasts wen apply d mentholatuem. Jus rub gently as if yu are creaming ur breasts. Aftr dat use two novalgin mornin and nite. Dont wear bra aftr all dis and dont pump out d breast. Just use a big cloth to cover d breast like a bra. You will see wot happens. By dis time tomofow yu shld b feeling much better. Second day is d hardest. Pele.
