Any mommas dealing with engorgement 😭😬😫!?

Question

Tips… any tips!? Already applying hot black castor oil compresses and self expressing but boobs are still uncomfortable and get full and hard again. Looking for the best and quickest method.

Answer

I was engorged the other day, about a week following my c section. The only thing that would get milk flowing after trying everything else was an electric pump. I pumped a little bit which was enough to get milk flowing and then baby could drain the rest.
Since then I find hand expressing under a hot shower works well, as others have said, but thankfully haven’t been engorged again

Answer

I had to start using my electric pump I'm getting 8 oz or so every 2 hours after my son eats his fill I know it eventually regulates but I couldn't handle the engorged breast right now with the healing from my C-section plus I figured the extra in the freezer will be useful one day.

Answer

Just hand express to relief. 
Heat will make the milk flow. Cold will slow the milk down and ease the pain. 
It does calm down. Engorgement is at its worst right when the milk comes in but settles quickly. Your supply will regulate around 6 weeks pp.
