I appear to have two rugby balls attached to my chest. How long does it last please?

day 3 and my milk has come in and oooowwwww. I should be able to remember from last time but I can't. When will they go down?

Have expressed a little to allow my baby to latch on but oooowwwwwww.

Ooh I have such vivid memories of it. Red hot rocks. No more than 2 days here. Day and a half probably. Put dd on LOTS and expresseed a small amount before each feed or she couldn't latch. And savoy cabbage, frozen for half an hour and put in my bra was a god send. Although, the heat of my breasts started to cook the cabbage really quickly. The smell still reminds me of the early days of bfing.

at cooked cabbage. Once again, owwwwwwwww

Ok, day and a half to go

Couple of days then up&down as feeds are due.

Would paracetomol be OTT?

Kellymom suggests ibuprofen to reduce the pain and inflammation.

Lots more ideas on the website here.

Hope things calm down soon.

Oh thank you. Forgot about kellymom

have a nice hot bath if you can!

Paracetamol, ibuprofen and breast nurse gel pads are the way to go IMO!
