Ds2 was born on Tuesday via elective c-section. He latched really well and breastfeeding was going much better than it did with ds1. He was feeding for a while at a time and seemed pretty content and calm. Since coming home he has been feeding little and often and not for long at all, I'm just feeding on demand. Problem is that my breasts are now really engorged and hard but he isn't draining them and I think it's becoming harder to latch for him. I've tried hand expressing a bit off to soften them but need to express more to have any effect. I'm worried about expressing too much and making the problem worse. Shall I just ride it out til it settles?
