Day 4

Nursing your baby
If you are breastfeeding, you can still breastfeed your baby every 3 hours or more. If you give formula, then you can give 40ML every 3 hours.

Breasts
Most maternity women have very full breasts on this day. Your breasts are tense and this can give a painful feeling. If you are breastfeeding, let your baby empty your breasts thoroughly. After feeding (or with formula, all day long), it can help to cool your breasts by means of a cooling pack in your bra. Cooled white cabbage leaves in your bra can also provide relief. Wear a tight bra and if necessary you can take 2x 500mg paracetamol every 6 hours.
