When your milk comes in and you feel engorged, milk collectors and pumps definitely help. But when it’s rock hard and your in pain, go for a warm shower. Lightly massage your breasts. Take haakaa into the shower attached to your breast if you want to catch all the milk.

Oh man. That must have been so hard. There definitely needs a breastfeeding cheat sheet with information for mamas! I remember when it came in I was so hard my baby refused to latch. I was in so much pain with a pump and haakaa attached to me to relieve some pain to breastfeed
Nice tip i learned a week ago ! It really helps

Yes! I wish I knew this! When I was about a week postpartum I slept longer than intended and no matter how much I pumped I couldn’t get much relief until I took a hot shower then tried pumping again with my lactation massager
