Engourgement

[lua_berry]

Hi there I'm a ftm and I apologise for not knowing much. I had my baby girl on Sunday and tried for 2 days to breastfeed but decided to formula feed instead. I read that engourgement can go away naturally it just may hurt for awhile. I'm wondering if it will go away on its own or do I need to see a dr? They are rock hard, hurting and huge. Is there any way I can get some relief?

No you do to need to se anyone, it quite normal.
Try Ice packs and cold cabbage leaves. There are breast relief pads you can get which you pop in freezer and they slip in your bra.
Try googling for engorgement relief and they have a few natural remedies. It will get better but can take 3-5 days before you notice anything and then it will take a week or two before its dried up completely xxx
