Breastfeeding
The first milk your breasts produce is a thick, highly nutritious substance called colostrum. Colostrum is the perfect food for your child's first few days of life, and your body creates it in just the right amount for your newborn's tiny stomach. Within three to four days, your baby's sucking stimulates a hormone within you that signals your body to produce breast milk. This is referred to as your milk coming in.

Treatments towards engorgement
Cold Treatment	- If your breasts feel very hard and full, chances are it’s not just trapped milk volume that is causing the swelling. - Wrap a bag in a thin receiving blanket and cover the mother’s swollen breasts with the wrapped crushed or cubed ice bags.
	It is not recommended to put ice directly against bare skin. Most mothers experience a noticeable reduction in swelling after 15-20 mins
Heat Treatmen	- A heat treatment works best by getting into the shower and allowing warm water to soak the breast. The shower should be warm enough so that steam rises.
	* Be careful not to burn your sensitive breast or nipple tissue
