TIPS FOR PREVENTING BREAST ENGORGEMENT
1 Breastfeed shortly after birth. This way, baby is given the opportunity to learn how to breastfeed before your breasts become full and firm.
2 Nurse 8 to 12 times a day once your milk comes in.
3 Missed a feeding? use a breast pump or hand expression to remove the milk.
4 Make sure your baby is latching correctly. Lactation consultants are available to help with any latching issues you may experience with baby.
5 Offer baby one breast at a time. Let baby complete nursing on one breast before switching. Feedings will typically take 10 - 20 minutes.
6 Avoid using bottles and pacifiers (unless medically necessary). This helps to prevent nipple and bottle confusion.
7 Track your nursing sessions including times, lengths and sides. Your healthcare provider should be able to point out any problems with nursing length of time.
8 Wean baby gradually Don’t stop cold-turkey! As you wean baby gradually, your supply will taper off.
