I'm breastfeeding for the first time, and my boobs are so engorged! They hurt and I'm feeling a lump in my right one, think it might be a clogged duct 😕 anyone have any advice? My milk came in pretty suddenly and baby girl has been having a hard time latching on.

Get a warm wash rag or take a hot shower and massage your breast the milk will come out .. But the best thing to do is try and get the baby to latch on they can suck those things out so fast

Yea I just did some hand expression, it helped a little, but I can't milk myself all night 😕lol. I get my breast pump tomorrow. I'll try the shower, thanks! 😋

Pumping won't get rid of being engorged atleast it didn't for me but the shower and massaging will help a lot .. But like I said the best thing is t get the baby to latch on even if it's just for a few min it will make the lump go down

Try cold cabbage leaves on your bare breasts. I was engorged two whole weeks postpartum and this helped
