Your body makes a lot of milk at first, and then your baby only takes a little bit of it b/c she's so young. The extra pressure inside your breasts is what gives your body the signal about how much milk to make--It will adjust and you will become more and more comfortable. Here are some pointers: http://www.nursingmoms.org/breastfullnessfact29.htm

last.one.for.me - 1007 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) can you not put your baby to your breast? the best thing for engorged breasts and to help milk let down is to let the baby suckle - that's what's supposed to happen :] Even though you onlyt get a drop out with a pump, your baby will get more. My boy is 5 weeks and i can only pump 2ozs from both breasts combined, but he must get way more than that himself as he is always satisfied.. it will hurt when she latches on, but it will ease the engorgement no end..

ElesaB - 1008 days ago Ok I did but they still hurt extreamly bad. Only a little bit of milk came out

jaydsmom - 1008 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Yep happened to me too. When you stand in the very hot shower, start at the top of your breasts and push down with your hand until you get to your nipples. Push as hard as your pain tolerance will allow. As soon as you get out of the shower, use the pump and make the same motion with your hand.

ashysmm1 - 1008 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) when that happened to me i would stand in the shower and squeeze my nipples to relieve some of the pressure try that and let me know hope that helps it did for me good luck.
