i used to have very bad engorgement during my confinement and I tried cool cabbage which doesnt work for me. the most effective way for me was to either use a manual pump or take a warm shower then pump bc it helps with let down and pumping every 2hrly
Keep pumping or massage in shower (prepare towels and slippery floors) or use warm damp towels while pumping. Find out why is it engorged, is it the nipple holes clogged or milk overproduction. Call your hospital lactation consultants
Cool cabbage and combing the breast in shower. Otherwise need to get massage lady to help massage. Sorry you are feeling engorgement. It really sucks
Latching is the most effective way of easing engorgement as the baby's suction is strong. Alternatively, you can try haakaa pump to suck out the milk

Bathe with hot water and hand express your milk at the same.
Need to buy hospital grade breast pump like spectra S1
Hot/warm water shower or have LO latch on
Take lecithin
