During the postpartum period, breast tenderness and pain, is there any way to eliminate the lump

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The issue you're reporting is very common among first-time breastfeeding women, commonly referred to as "milk engorgement." The solution is to ensure that the breasts are fully emptied. If the baby doesn't empty them, manual methods are necessary. Additionally, it's important to check whether the baby is latching correctly. Some babies may appear to be sucking, but they're not actually getting milk, in which case they may become fussy. A good sign is when the breasts feel noticeably softer after being emptied.
