Once the milk comes in, breastfeed at least 8 times in 24 hours to prevent over fullness.

Ask for help from the hospital lactation consultant so that latch-on problems are solved as soon as possible.

Any time a feeding is missed, use hand expression or a breast pump to remove the milk.

Inam writing this based on my own experience . Use hot water bag and then either try n feed your baby which could b painful however best way to relief orelse use breast pump to empty.
Ignoring it for long can cause serious health issues to moms

drinking cumin n fennel seed water (soaked in the night) or even eating of soaked seed in empty stomach in the morning

listening good calm music while feeding

drinking little hot water after food will also help

It should be massaged with oil. If those engorgement are not massaged and loosened they might lead to serious problems or even breast cancer.
This happened with me. It was very painful. My aunt did a high pressure massage with oil and loosened those blocks. Yes it was a painful massage bit worth though. Thanks to her.
