Please consult the Gynaecologist who was looking after you during your pregnancy. The nursing staff there will help you with the manual expression of milk from the breast after which the breasts will become soft. But it may take a few days. No short cut treatment.

U have to express milk, take help from others as it will be too painful to do it by yourself. If u don't do it ,it can have serious complications like breast abscess that will require surgery
