Engorgement

SarahF20

Hi ladies!

The past two mornings I have woken up with my right breast completely rock hard and very uncomfortable. LO has been sleeping long stretches for weeks now, but this week she's been sleeping an hour or so longer.

Should I just let my supply re-regulate or should I pump the engorged side during the first feed of the morning?

I go back to work on the 17th and I'm afraid my larger, engorged breast will be noticeable in my work shirts!

I would try to let it regulate if you can. You could always feed off the more engorged side first in the morning. If you keep pumping it will signal your body to keep making more and the engorgement will continue.

Thanks ladies. I think I will try pumping it but not fully empty and see how it goes!
