    Wear tight fitting bras (I wore sports bras), use ice packs or frozen bags of peas. DO NOT let the shower water hit it.

    I BF for 4 weeks and decided that I just couldn't keep it up and switched to formula starting Tuesday night.  Yesterday was so awful!  I was in misery b/c I was so engorged.  I could barely move my arms it hurt so bad!  The worst part was not being able to cuddle my baby.  I used ice packs to help with the pain.  I ended up finally pumping last night and this morning I am much better and not engorged.  I guess not pumping or feeding for a full 24 hours helped dry me up. I am still leaking a little bit but it's not bad.

    It should be easier for you since you never started BF'ing.

    I EBF, but when my milk came in I was severly engorged. The LC at my hospital said cabbage leaves. It worked like a charm. GL
