Engorged breasts - desperate for relief!?

[newmum242]

Somebody please help, my milk has just come in 3 days after birth. My breasts are so engorged, very painful, swollen, and just huge. How can I get some relief and quickly :(?

cabbage leaves and heat

i swear it works

Cabbage leaves from the fridge in your bra.

A warm bath, just let them leak in there.

Ooh I feel for you it’s the most uncomfortable painful feeling. A warm shower and reverse pressure massage really helped me

Yes, cabbage leaves in your bra,and get the baby to feed. You could try trying to express a little, but not much will come out at this stage. Also get some breast shells that you put into your bra; the slight pressure will encourage milk to come out.
