My right breast seems so much larger and full. I can actually feel hard patches throughout my boobs that are sore. My daughter does better on the other side but I pump every time she feeds... What's the best way to relieve the pressure/pain?

Have you ever had a clogged duct or mastitis? That may be what you're dealing with. If you also have a fever, it's definitely mastitis. When I had a clogged duct, I used heat and massage and just kept nursing and pumping on that side to work it out. A hot diaper (sounds gross!) works awesome. Get it wet and microwave for 30 secs and just wear it in your shirt. Or use a heating pad haha. Ibuprofen is safe for nursing so feel free to take some if the pain is just unbearable! Hope you feel better soon!

Probably a clog! I had one on both sides!!! I massaged and took warm/hot baths and showers and pumped. I also had my hubby pick up some lecithin! I was taking 3 a day with the clogs now I take one a day to keep clogs at bay. I really think they have helped me.
