I dont know if this is engorgement or something else. I randomly experience some pain in my breasts. But I thought this could be experienced when you have an oversupply. I happen to unfortunately be experiencing a low milk supply :cry:, so i don't understand. Should i be massaging my breasts or something? Is it normal for all post pardum moms to exp some pain in her breasts, or is this something more serious?
 
It could be that you have some blocked ducts, that would result in both pain and a lower supply.

Best thing you could do in that situation is feed as often as possible. You could try massaging your breasts in a hot shower as well.
 
I have low milk supply & in the beginning I was very engorged mainly at night time or when LO was sleepy. I think it's your body adjusting to the milk & what/when it needs to supply. It only happened for a few weeks I used to even leak. I now get a lot more milk (LO latch has drastically improved) & I never feel engorged or leak.
