Hello- Breasts are composed of several lactiferous tissue which stores milk for the new born after birth. Accumulation of milk makes the breasts hard and this is why it becomes soft when the baby feeds on your breast. It is absolutely normal.

Hi lybrate-user. This s normal don't worry. It's because of milk collected in the glands. So keep breast feeding every 2 hourly basis. Good luck.
