Massage the area in a hot shower followed by a cold towel compress.; Express milk if just the baby feeding isn't taking out the milk.

If the breast gets engorged due to over production of milk, you must regularly express the milk. Lumps that are formed can cause unnecessary future complications. Express the unused milk using a breast pump. Applying hot water fomentation while expressing makes the process more efficient and relaxes the breast more. The more you express, the sooner will the lump disappear. If you let the lump stay, it can cause fever etc and may need unnecessary surgical intervention to remove if it gets infected.
