What to expect....if BF'ing, do your breasts always feel full or is it+

just before you've fed DC?  Once you are done w/ a feeding, do they "empty out?"  I know, weird question.  Just wondering if they will feel uncomfortably full/hard?  Or if they will "empty out"/soften up after a feeding?  Were they the same as they were during pregnancy?

    Mine soften out. They are never really "empty" but during the night, since my LO will sleep at least five hours they do feel hard and once I pump they go back to being soft.

    They soften up. Don't worry. And after a few months or weeks you won't get engorged that often.
