soo, my boobs arent engorged & i havent expressed milk in over 3wks, nor have i leaked, y would it become tender like this after so long w/ no problem?


Answers:

your probably just a bit over ful and its tender. try a warm compress to relieve the tenderness it will make you leak a little and don't express the milk b/c you'll just be making more. A good idea is as little stimulation as possiable
