Breastfeeding issues
Looking for some advice. My 8 week old has decided to sleep 5/6 hour stretches the past two nights which is amazing but yesterday I woke up super engorged and leaking on my right side. Ever since my right boob has been so painful to touch. There’s no lumpiness and doesn’t hurt to feed just super painful to touch. Any advice or tips welcome ❤️
Hand express enough to relieve pressure and feed as normal then. Clogged ducts should clear with feeding, pump it out if a feed doesn't clear it through. Also, cold cabbage leaves are said to feel great to take the "heat away", best to use in the shower 😊
