Engorged breast...

what exactly does ‘engorged breast’ mean? I’ve been doing a lot of research on breastfeeding because im going to breastfeed and I always come across this term..what is it? Thanks!

Answer #1

“they get like that when you baby dosnt eat enough.”

That’s not exactly true…breasts can get engorged even though the baby is well fed.

Answer #2

When you’ve produced milk and haven’t released it (through breastfeeding or pumping) then the breasts become full.

It’s quite painful, but it is temporary.

I remember after I stopped nursing my babies, I had to tie a towel around my breasts and fasten it tightly so they wouldn’t move…every motion made them hurt.

Answer #3

that means theres more milk in there then there is suppost to be.they get like that when you baby dosnt eat enough.
