breast compression is a technique that can help your baby get more milk if they are latched on but not getting enough breast milk. If your baby is not gaining weight well or is falling asleep while eating, breast compression might be a good technique to try.
Make sure that your baby is latched on well. Once it seems that your baby isn't sucking or nursing as well, gently but firmly squeeze your breast and see if the baby starts drinking again. Stop squeezing when they start sucking, wait a little bit, and then do it again. A lactation consultant can help you with this technique and with getting a better latch.
