Breast compressions can help your baby get more milk

In this sixth video from La Leche League Canada’s Newborn Nursing Video Collection, we demonstrate how breast compressions can help keep your baby actively feeding and increase milk intake, especially during sleepy feeds or when your milk flow slows.

Breast compressions are a simple, hands-on technique that can make a big difference in how effectively your baby gets milk, while also helping to maintain your milk supply.

This practical video is perfect for new parents and healthcare providers looking to support early breastfeeding with confidence and care.
