Aside from pumping is there anything I can do to relieve breast pain? I’m 4 days PP and starting to feel very uncomfortable (and leaky)...
@tiredmama0917, do you still breast feed? Or are you supplementing as well?
Doctor told me to take hot showers or put heating pad on breasts. The hot showers helped, just turn around and let the hot water hit your chest. Helped me. 4 days was about when my milk really started coming in and was painful for me too. It got much better the next couple of days.
I still breast feed. We do give her one bottle of formula at night so that I can sleep a little. I pump as much as I can, that helps a lot.
