Nothing really helped me just have to wait it out first few days then it's a lot better.

Hot showers !

Warm showers or a bath and dip under so your boobs are submerged in the water. Or you could put a warm flannel/towel on them. Take a paracetamol if the pain gets too bad x

Thanks ladies. This is my 3rd day so hopefully soon it will be better. I been releasing a bit of milk to help with the pressure but not enough to empty. I hope I'm not making things worse by doing that.

@everyone this is so weird but when i lost my first baby at 17 weeks, my breast were full of milk for weeks. I did the whole warm water thing, and the warm showers and warm towels and it just made it worse. My milk was leaking through my bra and shirt. Is there a possibility it can work differently for everyone? i know its my question but hopefully it can benefit @2boys1girl2love

@perly the cabbage has been helping a lot better than hot showers. But when my lo cries i get an intense pain in my nipples.
