Help I skipped two feeds today

I got caught in an accident on the way back to my baby (he is 2 months old) and missed 2 feeds. My breasts were engorgéd and hard when I got back and I have been breastfeeding and expressing since I returned but they still don’t feel right. A bit tingly and painful even though I keep emptying them. It’s like they are refilling very quickly.

I’ve had mastitis before so definitely could do again, but not feeling fluey with a temp like I did last time.

Do I just keep expressing and feeding?

This is my third DC btw, but never missed so many feeds this early into establishing BF

Are you doing extra expressing on top of feeding the baby? That's just going to make you produce more milk than you need. I would just keep feeding regularly and it will even out quickly. Keep feeling for lumps to make sure there's no blocked ducts.
