I wish I had known...

I really wish someone had told me how bad it hurt when your milk comes in. When I was three days postpartum my milk came in. I was SO engorged that my baby couldn't latch. I cried all night because I was in pain and could not feed my baby. I thought I would have to start formula. Luckily the next day I saw a lactation consultant and she helped tremendously. My husband was also a huge help by helping me hand express. I just wanted to give new mommies a heads up and let you know it does get better. So don't give up! My baby is 11 days old, the engorgement is gone and she is a latching master!
