Sore boobs!?

[Monkey monkey]

Help!?i am exclusively ff now and last night though to today my boots are really sore and feel hard near the nipples.

I don't want to bf but how do i relive the pain? Do i just express or will i get the pain again then? If i leave them will they get more painful?

Please help!!

try ice packs,pain medicine like ibuprofen,drink water,don't pump it will make it worse,but you can squeeze a little out to ease the pain. It shouldn't stay around much longer mine dried up pretty quick.

You could express a little, but be careful - it will send the message to your body to produce more milk and that's not what you want right now

Advil works wonders... I used it when I was overnight weaning to relieve the pain. I've heard cold cabbage leaves are fantastic, though I've never tried them myself! Also, a supportive bra helps me. I've found plain old sports bras to be the best.
