Answer

You might have mastitis. I’d see your doctor asap. Until then, soak your breasts in warm water or take a hot shower and massage them so they can drain. You should only cut out one feeding session at a time so you don’t get clogged ducts/mastitis

Answer

Cold compress and cabbage in your bra.

Answer

The redness concerns me because that’s a sign mastitis, I’d call your doctor to schedule a check up. Until then a hot compress, hand express enough to feel comfortable, pure peppermint extract, cabbage leaves. You shouldn’t cut off cold turkey because you have such a high risk of clogged milk ducts and mastitis

I agree with what others said though about the redness looking concerning and to be careful about mastitis.  It may help to stand in a warm shower and hand express a small amount just to relieve the pressure and avoid clogged ducts.
