So much milk!!!

[lisaalove]

I don't know what to do. One boob has been feeling constantly engorged all day. I triedexpressing some to relieve the pressure but it only helped for maybe 30 minutes and it was full again. I had him not even two days ago and both breast have gone up a cup size at least. I know I shouldn't be complaining at all because with my first I didn't produce. I prayed and wished I would be able to bf this time and I can but holy heck how can I even be producing this much colostrum! There's way more than he is eating and I don't know what to do with it. Should I pump it? I don't want to make it so that my body thinks I need to produce any more though I just want to produce enough lol. Any help out there?

Only pump off just enough to relieve the worst of the discomfort. Pump too much and the body will keep up production. Don't worry, it does settle and you'll feel better in a couple of days x
