You can give that milk to the baby no problem. Apply ice pack to the breast to unclog the breast. If it doesn't recover consult a lactation nurse or consult your doctor regarding metoclopramide injection.

Mam ur doing everything right. Try to expres milk at regular intervals either by hand or by breast pump. U can use the expressed milk to feed the baby within 2 to 3 hours from expressing.
