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

Try to get hubby to massage first, if cant better to get breast massage (there are those that will come to ur home ones). If still cant, better to call the lactation nurses at hospital for help. Hope it helps! :)
