Breast engorgement

I'm day 4 postpartum and have just started pumping for baby (she doesn't want to latch) but the more I pump the more engorged I become and the amount of milk I'm getting decreases with each pump. Tried massaging but doesn't seem to help. Any tips on what I can do other than latching as baby really doesn't latch. Will it go away on it's own? Should I still try to pump even when nothing is coming out anymore?

Try Madam Ida breast massage (94249829) & sunflower lecithin. You’re only 4 days PP so it’s normal. Just keep pumping regularly even if there’s nothing. (don’t overdo it, maybe try 10-15mins and shorter intervals) Supply should slowly increase. Mine was worse back then as I had two episodes of mastitis 1 week PP. I’m currently EP.

thanks for the encouragement! I got a lactation consultation to help me today and yes, I will continue to keep pumping, hope it gets better soon.
