ABSTRACT: Introduction: Breast engorgement can be a physiological circumstance it's far characterised by way of agonizing swelling of the breasts because of deficiently breastfeeding and/or clogged milk duct. When mother experiences severe pain of feeding the baby due to engorged breast which makes mother to worry and creates fear about breastfeeding.

Results: Regular decreasing in ache escalated in moist heat enterprises end up 6.1 that have been 4.9 in dry heat group.(p=0.001). Everyday diminishment in breast engorgement rating in moist heat modified into 3.6 that have been 3.4 in dry heat. Lessening in breast engorgement score of moist warmth organization have come to be essentially higher than that for dry warmness (p=0.116). Conclusion: The study concluded that moist heat was determined greater viable in diminishment of breast engorgement while moist warmness turned into located extra achievement in diminishment of ache rating because of breast engorgement among postnatal mothers. Keywords: Breast engorgement, Dry heat, Moist heat, Postnatal Mothers.
