Breast engorgement is a common thing that often happens in the first week after delivery as the mature milk begins to transition in.
It can also occur with having excess fluid that is present after labor and delivery due to IV fluids, and it can make latching on to the breast difficult.
Reverse pressure softening is a technique that can help remove this excess fluid
from around the ni**le to help make latching on to the breast easier.

The steps include:
*Place your fingers on the ar**la on each side of the ni**le
*Push gently and inward
*Hold steady pressure for 1-3 min
*Attempt to latch quickly after the pressure is released
*Can repeat as often as needed
*There are different finger placements that can be used

Performing skin to skin not only after delivery is beneficial, but performing it at anytime in the breastfeeding relationship is very helpful as well!! Besides mom, dads can participate in this amazing snuggle time! Oxytocin which is known as the "love hormone" is released when dads are holding baby close skin to skin just as it does with mom. This hormone creates the natural bond between parent and child helping you to fall in love with them! It can also help reduce stress because it does help lower cortisol levels, and it can help increase confidence! So amazing!

Other benefits of skin to skin include:
Helps keep baby warm by regulating their temperature
Reduces crying
Stabilizes heart rate
Increases blood sugar levels
Improved breathing and increased oxygen
Provides comfort during procedures
Encourages latch and breastfeeding
Improves weight gain
Helps increase milk supply
Helps result in successful breastfeeding
Longer periods of sleep for baby
Enhances brain development

One of the biggest concerns with breastfeeding, is usually whether or not baby is getting enough milk.
Here are some tips to help you to know if your baby is indeed receiving enough at each feeding.

~If baby is awake and eager, and having frequent feedings on demand 8-12 times each day with an effective and comfortable latch.
~After milk letdown, if you notice baby to have strong and rythmic sucking and hearing swallows. You may also notice that baby has "gulping" swallows. This is a definite difference than when the colostrum was present. This indicates good drinking. You may even notice their ear wiggling in synchronization with their jaw movement.
~Baby may fall asleep at the breast when done, or he/she may pull off of the breast and appear full/content like they just finished a Thanksgiving meal! Also before a feeding, you may notice that their hands are in a fist, and after a feeding their hands are open and relaxed.
~Mom's breasts will feel fuller/firm before a feeding and much softer after a feeding.
~You will also notice baby to have a steady weight gain. He/she should return to their birth weight after 2 weeks after birth, and begin to gain about 5-7 ounces per week until 4 months of age.
~After day 5 after birth their wet and dirty diapers should increase to 6-8 wet diapers per day, and 3-4 dirty diapers per day. The wet diapers should be heavy, and the dirty diapers should transition from brownish/green to yellow/seedy in color and the size of a quarter or larger.

Share with a new mom you may know who could benefit from these tips!
