Re: Breast Engorgement

Tell her to use tylenol or motrin as needed for discomfort.
Use ice packs 20 min on then 20 min off on each breast. Binding helps also.
Avoid hot showers or compresses. I would avoid touching them or massaging them for about the next week as that might induce the milk to produce.
She will be engorged for about 48 hours then it will begin to subside. Tweet
