Hi everyone,

I gave birth on Thursday and i am not breastfeeding as i find it too painful, however my milk has just come through and i am in constant pain, i was wondering if anyone had any advice to help ease/cope with the pain, and how long does it last for?

Thank you,

anna

    hi, i had this when my lo was born in sept- it was so painful, i was in tears at night and i couldnt even attempt t rollover in bed. the midwife showed me how to massage the breast (rub quite firm towards the nipple but not really hard) also try placing a warm flannel on them wen your in the bath, mine were really painful for about 48hrs- then it seemed to ease of, maybe try some paracetamol aswell. xxx

    Sounds mad but cabbage leaves heated up and popped inside your bra really works, it helps draw the milk out which will releive the pain.
