Breast Engorgement

💡 Engorgement occurs when the breasts become overly full, leading to swelling and discomfort, especially in the early postpartum days

🔎 Symptoms:

  • Swollen, warm, and painful breasts.
  • Difficulty expressing milk due to excessive fullness.
  • The baby may struggle to latch because of breast firmness.

📌 How to Relieve Breast Engorgement?
✅ Gently massage your breasts before and during feeding to help milk flow.
✅ Breastfeed frequently to prevent milk buildup.
✅ Apply warm compresses before feeding to encourage milk letdown.
✅ Use cold compresses after feeding to reduce pain and swelling.
✅ If severe, consider expressing milk manually or with a pump for relief.
