I agree with Marisa, also try not to touch them or stimulate them.

i have bottle fed since day one. my boobs were ROCK hard and hurt so bad the engorment and sore lasted about a week. they leaked for about a month. i had 2 ace bandages and would wrap my boobs up as tight as i could then pull a sports bra over. ice packs help. advoid hot showers it makes them produce more. good luck!
