So sorry, mama. I definitely remember that with my first. Are you freezing pads and wearing them? If not, do it! Sprinkle water on them first then pop them in the freezer - gives some relief and will help the swelling. Also, if you have any homeopathic arnica tabs, you can disolve them in some water and then use that to wet the pads before freezing....and take the arnica orally too! Other than that, stay in bed with that baby and just rest as much as possible. Sometimes (if you've got small boobs, like me

) placing a pillow under your side/chest while side lying to nurse really helps with positioning.
