What Are Ways I Can Get My Breast To Stop Hurting? I Tried Breastfeeding, But It's Not Going Well For Me So I Said Skip It. They're Swollen, Full And Very Sore. Any Advice Is Greatly Appreciate Right Now!!
Take a warm shower and get a wash cloth. Press the wash cloth on the top of your breasts working downward to the nipple. This will help relieve engorgement. Read the post-partum booklet they gave you at the hospital on breastfeeding. This is all normal mama and will get better! That milk needs to come out! That's why your breasts hurt! Your baby will not latch properly if yiu are too full of milk. Your body needs to regulate your supply but that happens when the baby nurses or you pump or express out milk. Don't give up! ❤
Have you tried pumping? That way you can empty your breasts and baby still gets breastmilk.
If you don’t want to breastfeed, it’s just going to hurt for a few days and there isn’t much you can do outside of icepacks and Tylenol and a tight bra
Babies don’t need much , especially at 4 days girl .
Your baby is the one that tellls your body how much to produce . So how ever much he eats is how much he needs to be on the boobie . Supplementing w formula is only going to make it harder for you to make breast feeding happen . But if it doesn’t work for you then there is nothing wrong with just doing formula .
