Uncomfortablely engorged..but only one one side

I have tried everything the LC has recommended that I do (I have another appointment with her on Tuesday) and nothing seems to be working.  I am so uncomfortable on my right side, because it's SO engorged, painful and hard as a rock (sorry, TMI).  =0(  It's hard for little one to latch on this side because I can't get a good grip.  My supply on the left seems to be great, but my supply on the right seems to be too much for LOs demand.  Any tricks you have used???  Thanks.

  • Aye! I second the warm compressing. You might even consider pumping that one down to size for now.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Perhaps if it's too much on that side, especially with your let down, you could try lying down and having LO lay on top of you.  That way gravity is keeping the milk down and they have to work harder to pull it up.
