Jean, I do show mothers with edema the RSP and encourage them to continue
this until the areola softens. Once they do the RSP two things happen; the
nipples start to become erect and colostrum starts to show on the nipple.
I think where I have worked there has been less IV fluids and the mothers
have noted decrease edema within a couple of days.
