You can try applying a warm compress and massage your breast in a circular motion before every feeding to relieve the engorgement. You will need to ensure your baby is latching correctly and thereby feeding effectively. Hand expression will help to relieve the engorgement and it’s effective than pumping. Try to seek help from a lactation consultant early if you still can not resolve these issues.
