The discomfort of engorgement is often responsive to two approaches. Binding with wide ace bandage wrapped around your chest works for some. Another is to use baby as a breast pump, letting them take 2-3 minutes/side until you feel soft then feeding them formula. The formula fills baby & they decrease the bodies milk output by slowing feeding frequency.
