Probably tmi but my boobs hurt so much. Anyone experienced breast engorgement? I don’t know what’s going on but it feels like I’m producing more milk than I was before. I have tried pumping and freezing it but my son does not really like the bottle. he’ll take them every now and then but for the most part he does not like it so i literally just have a bunch of frozen milk that he’s not drinking. What can I do for the pain? He’s still able to eat and latch fine I am just miserable it’s been 8 hours. 😭

Do you know anyone who need breast milk for their baby? Maybe try to get him used to the bottle too so it can be easier. I tried giving my daughter breast milk on the bottle when she was 6 months and she didn’t want the bottle but she was 3 months older then your baby maybe he can get used to it.

Yeah I’m gonna keep trying and see if he takes it. And that’s a good idea I’m gonna ask around and see if any moms need milk. Thanks!

yeah it will be easier like that. No problem girl I’m saying since when my bestfriend has her baby she asked if I could give her some breast milk but it had been like 2 months that I stopped when she asked. You can help
Someone who might no be able to produce milk that good.

I know this feeling. My daughter is 6 months and I’m still over producing. But I’m glad so that I can build my milk supply for longevity. I started donating milk

My dd1 would take a bottle and nurse. Dd2 NEVER took a bottle so pumping was futile. Pumping and nursing at the same time can cause you to produce more milk than you need and cause the engorgement. Pump only enough to give yourself some relief but not enough to activate your body's milk making response. Milk production is based on supply and demand. Baby will get you to regulate and for the milk to slow down. If you are pumping bc you are away from baby and need to know supply up or for relief just pump enough for comfort and your body/baby will do the rest for you. Also, read the book:
