Seems like breast engorgement .......freq breast feeding every 2-3hrly, try latch > 20min each time, express out a little milk before each feed, hot compress before starting baby feeding can help your let down reflex, massage your breast while feeding, cold compresses after each feed & stop Top feed if giving to the baby

Hi there . This is a common problem with nursing mothers as they develop injury due to babies feeding. Continue hot water fomentation, remove as much milk using a breast pump or by hand squeeze till Brest softens. Maintain by decompressing at regular intervals Continue feeding the baby in proper position , if it is manageable. If fever starts of lump doesn't regress , you have to see you Obstetrician . Hope it resolves.
