To relieve painful swelling of the breast between feedings, you can place a heat pad on the breast. You can also express some of the milk to relieve some of the pressure. Sometimes, a warm shower will also trigger the flow of milk, releasing any extra milk that may be causing swelling. If you also have pain while breastfeeding or a pink, yellow, or green discharge ROM the breast, you should see your healthcare provider. You may have an infection.
