I did the same thing when it comes to feeding my baby and I can tell you it did wonders for my mental health. The boob pain is tough but it'll pass!
@Connie ok thank u
My pained passed after about a week but my milk dried up after 2 wks, I was very irritable and cried myself to sleep/slept on my back due to the pain. I used pain medicine, ice packs, cold cabbage leaves these actually dry the milk up (causing you to leak + nipples get tingling sensation), wear a tight bra 24/7, and don’t stimulate breasts at all. Good luck!
i’ve heard of people using cabbage leaves like nipples pads to dry out the milk or help with engorgement !
