What causes engorgement? When the breasts are producing more milk than the infant can intake.

-Breast compressions while feeding the baby
-Expressing milk in between feeding
-Breast massage and hand expressions
-Breast massage while lying flat on your back and massaging away from the nipple
-Cold compressions or ice packs
-Lying flat on your back
-Cabbage leaves in bra can help with inflammation

If you cannot relieve the symptoms of engorgement talk to your healthcare provider or make an appointment with an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) for further information and help.

There are many reasons why moms feel like they are not producing enough breastmilk for their baby. When you feel like you are not producing enough, reach out to a local IBCLC (Internationally Board-Certified Lactation Consultant). They can work with you to figure out what is going on and give advice on how to move forward.

When you are topping baby off with formula, it can cause baby’s stomach to stretch. Baby might sleep through the next feeding. If you do not pump that missed feed, your breast may produce less milk, baby may get fussy while breastfeeding, and the cycle continues. If you feel like you are stuck in this cycle, please reach out for help.
