Massage them, warm rags, warm showers. That's really all I know that could help.

feed on demand. try not to pump for the first few weeks as it actually makes you produce more milk then baby needs which causes engorgement.
@cubanese did i forget anything?

@monii.mariee, nobody mentioned this so I will try laying on a heating pad then really massage the crap out of them after they r super warm and let baby do the work as well it's amazing how God lets mama and babies body work together I agree with other ladies don't bring a pump into the mix 1,000 years ago nobody had breast pumps and everybody was just fine. I would let baby nurse on the side that's is most engorged even if it means he over eating a lot and spitting up that's ok at least he's not hungry and ur not hurting

I also found that cool clothes helped. They have these gel inserts for breastfeeding that you can freeze or microwave. Those were my lifesavers!

Of course! They sell them just about everywhere in the same section as breastmilk storage bags. I bought mine at Target.
