Tips to relieve the backed up milk under my armpits ???? I tried the hot shower with compression
@teebear74, oh okay , my milk has been in for 2 days now and even after I feed the are so sore and still has clumps of milk in them
@beefutrell, I wanna say the first week only because I had my placenta encapsulated so I was taking a pill everyday which increases milk supply so I was always engorged .
@teebear74, okay yea mine said 2 weeks but every place is different they told me if your baby has been lacking fine with no problems it would be fine . How long did it take for the soreness and hardness of your breast to go down ?
@beefutrell, nope . The nurses told me to wait about 3 weeks before giving him one
@teebear74, ohh okay yea I’m not sure I’m new to breastfeeding I didn’t stick with it with my first, have you tried just giving him a pacifier?
@beefutrell, no I let my fiancé bottle feed him the breast milk every once in a while when I get overwhelmed but for the most part yes. He's starting to use my boob as a pacifier, idk how to stop that
@beefutrell, oh yea , once you start doing that you'll feel better but for me pumpin in general is a lot of work
@teebear74, yes I have it too my milk came in last night so it’s horrible, it still happens after 3 weeks?
I just made him eat more often until it went down ...my problem is with the milk at the bottom of my boobs
Oh man . Can you buy a manual pump ?
