How do I reduce my engorement it’s really painful and now it’s starting to hurt to put my babygirl near my breast and I can barely get her to latch on bc I’m so swollen
I don’t agree.. I was fully engorged could barely move fever chills everything.. and I pumped.. right after pumping I literally felt 50 times better!!
Warms rags, warm shower and hand expression. Do not use a pump unless you will keep up with pumping. Also the nipple shield is great but try not using everytime. It will have an effect on your milk production down the line. Getting the baby to latch onto the nipple is what really helps. It will take several weeks for your milk production to level itself out. The more you feed or pump the faster you will produce milk. The first several weeks a crucial for establishing a good supply. Also try nipple cream if it is hurting you. She will also eventually learn how to latch on everytime you put her to the breast. It just takes sometime.
@jellybeans_mumm, yea I realize that My best friend gifted me a nipple shield and I’m using it right now to feed so far bbg is able to drink more and not get frustrated with my nipple
It will be like that for a couple days ! they hurt so bad , but do not pump because it will engorge you more, you have to put baby to breast. Where a nipple Shield to help with the pain, it will go away within a couple of days .. I know the pain and I hated it my boobs looked so weird

Yup I did it to my self again
I know it’s negative
I already cried my eyes out 😭
I swear y’all kill me when people ask questions about THEIR child. If my child is 4m or 5m & I put a little cereal in the bottle it’s nothing wrong with it at all. NOTHING , especially if his doctor already gave me the go ahead. My god, each one teach their own though.
it’s 10 am where I am rn , do not come on my post with , articles about whatever. I’ll tell you kiss my ass today.
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...

F my neighbor just knocked on my door to tell me I had a huge beehive in my tree. Wtf do I do about this thing? It’s huge!!
@cambertaylor94, I give my breast and when she unlatched herself when she’s done I still feel engorged
