Hello ! Sore breasts are somewhat common in the initial days of lactation due to excess milk or wrong positions in feeding etc etc, u will have pain heavyness hardness etc but u have said u have redness also, it might be mild infection, Need not worry about it esp if not associated with fever and chills, if not better in a week more, consult a good obstetrician and go for mild medication. As u r already applying ghee u can continue that, but donot apply hot fomentations and all, as it might become an ulcer later.
