I stopped breastfeeding and pumping about a week ago with no problems. I didn't get engorged or hurting or anything.
A couple days ago in the shower I noticed one of my breasts leaking so I hand expressed the milk. Well now that breast feels engorged and hurting. What can I do? Should I hand express the milk out? I just don't want more milk to come in!

Following! I stopped over a week ago and am in so much pain. Had to hand express today because the pain was too much. Hoping I don’t make my situation worse.

that's what I'm thinking because I feel like I'm getting more milk now that I expressed some out, to the point I'm having to wear a pad again!
