I had an elective c section 5 days ago and babygirl arrived safely into this world!
I have been really struggling with pain in my upper back due to my breasts really hurting!
I am formula feeding and was wondering when the pain in my boobs get better😫and dont feel as heavy anymore! Honestly getting to the point where i cant cope😫😫😫😫😫

mine lasted about 3 days max and now they're all jiggly again which feels amazing 😂 but do still slightly leak so still wearing breast pads. I literally didn't touch them at all, quickest showers of my life as I stand facing the water and straight into a tight crop top thing from primark and it seems to be all okay, it was agony at the time though as I'm pretty big chested anyway! they started to hurt around day 3 PP and today I'm day 9 PP X
Take some ibuprofen (relieves inflammation) and try not to touch them... Cold cabbage leaves straight from the fridge also help. It will get better within a day or so!
It’s so hard but like others say do not touch h or you will only stimulate them. Even a hot shower to avoid! Make sure your breasts are not under that water or again it stimulates them. I am not messing when I say this. 😅but cold cabbage leaves in your bra work! Take pain killers and cold cabbage leaves in your bra cools them down but the leaves cause the milk to dry up. When you get to the few days after it’s the best 😅you’ll get there. It is such a hard pain to face when minding a new baby and working through it all ❤️🙏
Lactulose!! I really recommend 30ml day and night my boobs literally hurt for a day or two just around my nipples they never got hard and hardly leaked either xx
