If your breasts are swollen, lumpy, hard or painful, they’re likely engorged. Engorgement may happen as your body ­figures out how much milk it needs to produce while establishing the milk supply. Apply a warm compress prior to breastfeeding to help the milk flow, and ice packs and acetaminophen between feedings. If you do experience pain during breastfeeding, it would be best to meet with a lactation consultant who can help your baby latch properly and eliminate pain.
