Might be Engorged: Sometimes when breastmilk comes in not only will the breast become full with milk but additional blood sometimes goes all the way up the arm or armpit (axilla). Relieve this sensation by stroking the breast downward toward the areola while either in the shower or leaning over. Refrigerated cabbage leaves are an excellent home remedy for relief of engorgement.
