High(ish) milk supply 4 days postpartum. Boobs are rock solid and are sore even after feeding and/or pumping. Normal?

Question

pumping. Normal?" /> 
I only pump when it feels like too much, and I dont pump all (because I dont want to increase supply)

Answer

It’s going to take a bit for your milk to regulate. So yes, normal. Try a warm compress before pumping, it’ll help relax all those ducts and you’ll be able to pump hopefully a little more and get some relief.

Answer

It takes a couple months for your milk supply to regulate, try to hand express to relieve the pressure of you don’t want to pump.

Answer

Are you giving your baby formula or breastfeeding? If you're breastfeeding baby probably isnt eating enough. Be careful with it staying that way because you're at risk for clogged ducts and mastitis.

Answer

Day four is no indication of ‘supply’, it’s just your milk coming in. Avoid pumping wherever possible you’re causing a heap of problems

Answer

Totally normal my milk didn’t regulate till 7wks pp that’s when my boob stopped being rock hard. 😊
