6 week pp engorgement

Je

Anyone have tips on how to end engorgement? I know how to help ease the discomfort, but I would like to know if there is anything I can do to get past it. It’s mostly my right side, as that’s the side that produces the most.

I’m BF my baby about 6 times a day (more if he indicates he needs it) and then during the middle of the night feeding he gets a bottle and I pump. The trouble is overnight bc he can go 4-5 hour stretches and then I wake up uncomfortable and with hard breasts. When I nurse every 2.5-3 hours during the day it’s tolerable, but I figured it wouldn’t want to wake up to pump since I don’t want to signal to my body to keep producing Thai much. Any tips? Thanks!
