The Issue of using the Warm Compress Method to Reduce Breast Milk Damages

Abstract

Breast milk dams occur when the breasts enlarge and hurt because they are overflowing from either insufficient or infrequent breast milk production. Breast care practices that moms can perform, such as using warm compresses, massaging the breast, and expressing breast milk, can help avoid breast milk dams. According to the study "Effectiveness of Warm Compresses on Breast Swelling in Post Partum Mothers" by Moumita Manna et al., warm compresses were useful in lowering edema. Breast swelling can be considerably decreased with warm compresses (p-value = 0.001). The purpose of this study is to ascertain how using warm compresses as a breast milk dam treatment affects postpartum moms' levels of edema and breast milk production.
