Help me Helpmy Cat!!!

My cat is about 2 or 3 years old and she just had her first litter of kittens.  The kittens had been eating cat food on their own for about two weeks and weren't feeding off the mother anymore, so we gave them away.  Now her breasts are swole bad.  She seems to be in pain and they are a little red.  What caused this? What can we do to help?

Hi, this could be an infection that needs to be treated by a vet w/ some antibiotics or, the kittens could've been weened from the momma cat too soon and she needs to nurse.  I'm leaning more toward this being a breast infection.  This definitely needs a vet's attention and unfortunately, won't clear up on it's own.
