He or she will decide on treatment. One way to prevent breast engorgement is to feed your baby from both breasts each time you feed. Don't feed on only one side. When you're away from your baby, try to express some breast milk to keep your milk flowing and breast ducts open. You'll feel more comfortable.
Most nursing mothers have sore nipples at some point, particularly at first.
Keep your breasts dry and clean. It may be helpful to use a lanolin lotion on the breasts to keep nipples from getting too dry.

If you think you have an infection, call your doctor.
