Hi Powelly, You sound a little *over it*. But, really, it is just like any other health and wellbeing problem. Often in these cases you need to try a few different approaches until you get the right solution for you. After all, people's bodies all act a little differently, even thought the principles are the same. As an aside, I have recently hurt my back. One health professional is suggested rest and icepacks. The other advised me to take pain relief, use warm water and keep moving. So it's just not breastfeeding. I don't see it so much as conflicting advice, as try one, then the other - see what works.
I would suggest that you feed your baby one breast, then offer the other - it might be just enough to take the edge off. And then, next time, feed him from the breast he *had a bit off* and then offer him the other. You aren't much over 6 weeks. Still the very early days. Pretty soon he will take both breasts every feed and your breasts will feel soft and normal. At this point your milk production is still relatively driven by high prolactin levels, which is normal, so if you feel your breast is uncomfortably full wake up your baby and feed him or express a little for comfort. Relieving the engorgement is the highest priority
