Abstract	METHODOLOGY: Quantitative Research Approach, Pre-experimental research design (one group pre-test – post-test) was used for this study. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 postnatal mother who undergone the caesarean section and had breast engorgement in Kiran hospital, Surat. The intervention, Reverse Pressure Softening Technique was given to the postnatal mothers. The intervention was given thrice a day for seven days, for each duration of 30 seconds per intervention. The pre-test and post-test were done by using the standardized Six- Point breast Engorgement Scale and standardized LATCH Breast Assessment Tool for Assess the level of Breast Engorgement and Breastfeeding among Postnatal Mothers. RESULT: The collected data were analyzed by using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Paired ‘t’ test was used to evaluate the effectiveness of reverse pressure softening technique on level of breast engorgement and breast feeding among postnatal mothers. For the level of breast engorgement mean post-test knowledge score was lower (1.16) compared to mean pretest knowledge score (3.83) and the calculated ‘t’ value (28.36 , df -59) is greater than the table value (2.01) at 0.05 level of significance which means that level of breast engorgement is reduce after providing intervention. For the level of breast feeding the mean post-test knowledge score was higher (6.81) Compared to mean pretest knowledge score (3.75) and the calculated ‘t’ value (10.17, df -59) is greater than the table value (2.01) at 0.05 level of significance which means there is improvement in the breast feeding after providing intervention.
