Is there any breastfeeding mums that could help.
Im feeding just the 3rd day and my breasts already got hard. Im trying to massage it but it doesn't go away.
Help D;
It's about 2 weeks of pain unfortunately. Keep going the more you feed the easier it becomes. Do get under a hot shower and hand express and massage your breasts. Or use hot wet flannels and do it. Honestly it flipping KILLS and I hated massaging but it is what it is. The ease of breastfeeding is worth it though! Keep strong.
At the beginning your breasts will be very sore and engorged it's just your body regulating how much baby needs. I put a hot flannel on mine and used a breast pump to express so that my breasts didn't feel so sore. It'll go down soon though trust me :) x
Hey, yes mine were extremely painful for a couple days. I just expressed using my hands as best as I could even though only drips came out and it took me a good 20mins each time, it relieved a lot of the pressure. I also bought some heat/ cold breast pads from boots which gave a lot of relief.. Keep persevering it'll go away after a couple days. X
