Avatar f tn I am bottle feeding and my breasts became engorged and they hurt so damn bad and are getting worse. They were just hard at the bottom and now they are all over. What do I do?? I read that squeezing them will make them produce more.
Avatar f tn I will agree with emi326 though that after the engorgement is gone, a warm shower before breastfeeding will helpthe milk flow and then you should try to feed baby more frequently if possible and make sure the latch on is giving baby enough milk to prevent becoming engorged again.

Avatar n tn My breasts are small as well. With my first they didn't grow or hurt but after i started breast feeding my breasts were engorged, but ended up going back to normal maybe just a bit bigger after stopping breastfeeding. You will produce milk without your breasts growing. So don't worry. I'm on my second pregnancy now, and they maybe grown a little.
Avatar f tn You can apply a hit compress to relieve some of the pressure with it engorged she may not be able to latch on. You can also hand express enough to soften the breast enough she can latch on .

435985 tn?1249067908 This time around I am in so much pain I almost had to go buy formula last night because my nipples are so sore and my breasts are so engorged. I had to feed her last night and I cried through the whole thing because it felt like my nipples were on fire. There are red blood blisters at the tips. Does anyone know how long engorgement lasts?
Avatar f tn I get up twice in the night to feed my two week old but end up also having to express because my breasts are engorged. I want to eliminate night expressing as during the night im so tired and from feeding and changing my little one - expressing adds another 45 mins to my time when I could be banking sleep in order to be fresh and be able to continue through the day.

Avatar f tn I got super engorged with both my kids I would pump each breast for like 5 minutes before each feeding to relieve the pain and it worked wonders!!
3185867 tn?1348434443 It is probably just your milk coming in. I can't remember how long it lasted with me as my youngest is 5, but it does ease up. Warm, damp towels can help if you leave them on your breasts for a while and hot baths or showers. Regular feeds also help.

Avatar f tn Tried to schedule my annual mammogram today and the gal said since my breasts were engorged (from my 3mm prolactima) I would have to either pump my breasts first before the mammogram or go back to my gyn dr and get her to give me an order for a more diagnostic mammogram (which insurance probably won't pay for.
Avatar f tn My baby was born the days ago and my breasts are already engorged. What can I do to reduce them a little because they are painful. I am breastfeeding but they don't seem to reduce much.
Avatar f tn I bottle fed my oldest and he is perfectly healthy. I do plan to breastfeed this time around though. My breasts didn't change at all when I let my milk dry up from my oldest. I do know a girl that breastfed close to a year and hers are all wonky now though. Formula is just as good as breastmilk so it's really up to you.
