A member asked:

I had a baby on monday and i'm not breast feeding. today, my breast feel like rocks and they hurt really bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast engorgement: Take 200mg vitamen b6 every day for the next week or so. Take Motrin for the pain and apply cold cabbage leaves to the breasts. If they become very red and tender and/or you develop a fever you should see a doctor.
