My little girl is 3 days olds d was feeding well but I have become severely engorged on both sides. I am having some success pumping on the right side but literally nothing is coming from the left and it's huge like a rock, hot and lumpy. I'm still in hospital (baby has jaundice) so have good painkillers, antibiotics and access to help but nothing is working to loosen the breast and get DD feeding again.
Has anyone had anything like this and how did it pan out? Did the breast get better with time?
I'm totally taken aback by the pain (worse than section pain) and stumped as to what to do - help!
