  • Put a wet warm wash cloth across them.
  • Do you have a pump? ??
  • @mybabe nope u was thinkn the same thng...since my son won't feed off me the hospital is giving me one for free but it won't b here til Wednesday I'm thinkn to jus call the lactation doctr tomar bcuz at ths point I really dnt kno wat to do
  • Hand express your milk to help with the engorgment for now.
  • Cabage leaves in your bra
  • Cabbage leaves will dry her milk out completely. My friend has done that with both pregnancies.
  • They have these gel nursing pads called lansinoh soothie gel pads that you freeze and can use over and over. They're like $12 at walgreens they're AMAZING!!!

    I gave birth last Sunday, I started out bf for 2days and his jaundice kicked in, we've been bottle feeding ever since. I am semi engorged, but I have a pump. A hot shower should let some milk down, enuff for u to hand express or try to get him to latch again.
  • @jaime77 I've tried the hot shower still nuthn...ths mornin I tried the hot compress thn tried to get him to latch while he was hungry but still nuthn...I am leaking a little bit of colostrum tho n he still won't get on
