What to do if you have painful breast milk on the third day after giving birth to a baby

Breast swelling and pain caused by rising breasts on the third day after giving birth to a baby can usually be relieved by letting the baby suckle to stimulate the breasts, or by massaging or using a breast pump to get the milk out.
After the baby is born, the mother will secrete prolactin, which promotes the secretion of milk and makes the breasts swell, and some pregnant women show the symptom of swollen and painful breasts on the third day after giving birth. Usually, the baby can be allowed to suck on the breast to discharge milk and reduce the symptoms of breast swelling and pain.
Breast milk can also be discharged through appropriate massage to relieve breast swelling and pain. If there is still milk left in the breast after the baby has sucked or massaged it, you can use a breast pump to suck out the milk to prevent milk stagnation.
If your breasts are swollen and painful on the third day after giving birth to a baby, you can also use a hot water bag around your breasts to promote blood circulation and relieve the symptoms.
If the cause of the pain is unknown or the symptoms continue unabated, you can go to the hospital and be guided by a professional doctor.
