Breast pain/engorgement

Hi I have similar experience like you, what I did is putting some cold compress i used the Lasinoh ones and then try to pump when I feel the boobs are getting harder before it gets too hard that will lead to engorgement, and so far it works so hopefully it will help you too.

Heat helps with milk flow so warm shower or flannel before feeding
And then cold compress after to help swelling

Cold compress after feeds and hand express if you still feel too full until it settles down and to prevent mastitis. Ring the breastfeeding helpline if you’re worried but this is the advice they gave me.

A shower really helped me and then afterwards I would pump or if you don't have a pump you can hand express to relieve some of the pressure. I'm exclusively pumping at the moment due to tongue tie so I often wake up with hard and sore boobs but as soon as I pump it goes away.

I had this with my first. A warm bath each evening really helped me and pumping to get rid of excess.

Yes, was so painful! Could barely put on a t-shirt let alone a bra 😭 Thankfully it got better after and l about a week. I found hot water on them in shower and hot flannels, then letting baby drink as much as he wanted then pumping the rest each time helped a lot and sometimes pumping before feeds a bit as well as if they are too engorged he struggled to latch properly and was more painful as well then 🙈 Also nipple butter... We're week 4 now and it's settled down loads I can wear a bra with pads to stop leaking 😬
