im bf 7 week old ds and everythings been going great but in the last couple of days ive been feeding too much on the left side, my breast is now a fair bit larger than the other and VERY leaky and sore, i am trying to feed only on the right side for a bit today but it doesnt seem to be getting any better.
can anyone please give me advice on what might help???

Well, your boobs respond to what you do to them bf-wise, so it's just a suggestion but be as equal as you can with feeds - and use hot flannels / savoy cabbage leaves to help you with the engorgement?

You could always express a little from the engorged breast to give you a bit of relief.
