Is there anything I can do to relieve some
of the pain from my boobs being engorged? I'm not breastfeeding and the milk must have come in today - they are huge, hot, hard and SORE!!!
I've been wearing a sports bra, but thats it

You need to wear ice packs in your bra- it worked wonders for me!

Re: Is there anything I can do to relieve some
Fortunately I did not suffer from this, but my mother told me when this happened to her my grandmother strapped her boobs down so tight so thaty wouldn't move... Also, I heard that about the icepacks as well and also, drink espom salt - not sure how good that tastes, but my g/f did this and it dried them up right away!

I tried breastfeeding for 3 days and then decided to stop. When the milk finally came in, I took Tylenol, wore a sports bra all day (even to bed) and put ice packs in the bra. The pain eventually stops

Re: Is there anything I can do to relieve some
I seem to remember something about cabbage leaves (don't laugh!  ).
I didn't need anything but the sports bra, but they said to use frozen peas in a ziplock bag (makeshift ice pack).

i had pain for one day and I used bags of frozen veggies.
when you take a shower, don't let the hot water hit your breasts.

Tight bra ALWAYS until it goes away and ice as much as you can.

Go out and buy a savoy cabbage...put the leaves in your bra. That really helps.
