I thought it might good to have a thread of post-partum suggestions and tips - what has worked for you when dealing with engorgement, after-pains, episiotomies, stitches, hemorrhoids, etc....

I found that naproxen, taken every 6-8 hours gave me the best pain management for afterpains that I've ever had.

Feeding my baby as much as she would take, and then pumping out fully once gave pretty good relief from engorgement.

The best thing I've found for hemorrhoids is called procto-foam here in Canada. Not sure what it would be marketed as elsewhere, but you need a prescription for it. Works wonderfully! Instant relief from an embarrassing and painful post-baby issue.

Please share whatever you found most helpful in dealing with various post-partum issues!
