New mum - breat pain advice

Hi all, I have birth to my baby on the 3rd April, today my milk has REALLY ramped up and started to come in. My boobs are like rocks and are super painful. I have already started pumping (with a hand pump) to try and relieve the pressure and managed to get 100ml of colostrum and they still leak/ hurt. I really don’t know what to do they’re so painful.

I also have inverted nipple so breastfeeding can be hard as she struggles to latch at first and it can take a while to get going and she gets visibly annoyed :(

Any advice welcome 🙏

Try hot towel on the breast as well. I used to do this in the shower at one point and massage
