I know it is hard to be so engorged. Take
a warm shower and express to release some
milk in there. You can also wear a sports
bra a little tighter than you'd normally
wear. The more you feed, the longer your
body will produce milk. Your breasts
haven't gotten the idea yet that they
aren't needed for milk production.
Good luck.

Yep, that's right- but don't express all
of it, just enough to make yourself
comfortable.
They recommend just replacing one or two
feeds per day with formula, until you are
no longer producing milk- it's funny
though, you might still be able to squeeze
out a few drops for months- I can, and I
stopped breastfeeding more than 4 months
ago!
