A. Hello dear mommy! Try as much to express the extra breastmilk either by hand or pump. Try applying warm compress on to your breasts. Use a nipple shield while breastfeeding your baby. Latch the baby well to your breast for at least 20 minutes to take in the feed. Consult a lactation expert for further advice. Good luck and take care.
