hot, moist towels on the boobies!!!(:
I'll be trying that tonight, thank you!!
Are you not breastfeeding? If not then put red cabbage leaves in your bra. But if you are wear like two really tight sports bras. Or let hot water on the shower run over your boobs.
Oh no I'm EBF, she's doing great, I just have a ton. I think if I pump though it will just tell my body to produce more won't it? I really don't want to get worse, it's more my left than my right.
Try taking a hot shower and letting the water run over them and really tight supportive bras.(:
Okay definitely going to try it tonight, she's been eating constantly since she was born so my milk came in a LOT and fast.
also, now that you aren't pregnant, if they get super swollen and hot, take 800mg motrin. it'll reduce the inflammation(
I actually have some motrin from my c-section prescribed so I'll try that too!

I was wondering the same thing and just never thought to ask.
Have a hot shower and put a soaked washcloth on them for a couple minutes, then hand express just enough to releive some of the pain. Do this frequently.
Pump enough to relieve the pressure but don't empty the breast.
