Milk has come in - when will it settle

Hi,

My milk has come in on day 2 and my breasts are so full and heavy.

How long does it take for them to settle down?

I'm swapping sides and making sure the latch is correct

A couple of days - both times I've had one really bad night then it's got a lot better from there. Do follow the advice- express a bit by hand if you need to etc as it does help! Also I've found my hormones craziest on day 3 - look after yourself CakeBrew
