Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Chest/breast engorgement is a common source of pain in the postpartum period. According to Huda et al. (2021) breast engorgement and pain are the leading cause of early discontinuation of breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is life-saving, cost-effective, sustainable for the planet, and keeps parents, and babies healthier. A high-touch, low-tech approach to the management of engorgement can be utilized through gentle breast massage and hand expression. The implementation of supportive patient-centered care can increase in-hospital breastfeeding rates. Human milk is the optimal first food to support overall health and provide food security for infants in any situation.
