breast lump after pregnancy

Hi Momies, I am a new mom , delivered baby 10 days back. They gave me tablets for milk production without checking my milk supply on day 1 and on day 2 they realised there is engorgement and big lumps in both breast. Now because of that i could not teach latching to my baby and he is on bottle feed. Its been 10 days , doing hot compression, massage, breast pumping and sometimes manual extraction with hands but still feel some big lumps are there. My whole day is gng into this process and not getting time to make bond with baby. Now he is not latching, may be due to short nipple or hard breast. I am very much tired and frustrated , please help.

Dont be so hard on yourself. The latching and bonding can come later.
