they'll even out in a couple of weeks, you start out with an oversupply so you feel engorged, then when your body makes the right amount, they'll feel normal
I agree with @kattastrophe, your body doesn't know how much to make for baby yet, so it is over producing to make sure it's enough....once baby has been feeding consistently when she's hungry it'll even out, usually by the 6 week mark your supply should be established and will calm down, and you shouldn't feel engorged very much anymore unless you go long periods without feeding the baby 😉 for now, feed the baby often and hand express for comfort if they're too engorged...it's important to not let them stay engorged for long periods because first it can slow your supply down too fast and also you can get clogged ducts and mastitis from being too engorged all the time...no need to go crazy anf pump it all out, just keep it comfortable 😊
@kattastrophe, @hellosweetie thank you ladies. 😊 @dohmommy2016 im feeling better just going through some hard stuff with family but I think I'll be okay.
