Thanks to Cathy for this Frugal Baby Tip!

Parents magazine said that a disposable diaper could be used as a
breast compress for engorgement because it stayed hot for a long time
(when filled with warm water) think about that - a peed in diaper is
98.6 degrees and stays that way.

Well, the nurse at the hospital soaked a disposable diaper and heated
it up in the microwave to use as a warm compress to heat up
Christopher's foot before she did a heel prick. I wondered why it
didn't cool off right away - she had to keep doing the prick over and
over because his blood wasn't flowing well.
