Breast swollen engorge

Hi all, I am a new one week old mum. I didnt breastfeed my baby when she was born last week two days in the hospital. She refused to latch. My breast is very hard, swollen and hard. When I back home the 3rd day, I pumped milk for her. Roughly 6 to 8 times. I massage my breasts with warm water before each pump and put cold cabbage after pump. Till date still very swollen. I very worried it will lead to complications. Any good advices for me? Thank you

Keep trying to get your baby to latch on. It will help ease the flow of breast milk and relieve your engorgement
